A medical doctor specializing in the investigation of disease and injury causes, especially in legal cases.

A special license allowing keeping wild animals in captivity.

Considered the founding father of forensic pathology, an important historical figure.

An undergraduate university degree focusing on biological science.

A graduate university degree in the study of animals.

A medical degree focused on holistic and musculoskeletal medicine.

Specialized training in forensic medicine, examining and diagnosing cause of deaths.

Public official responsible for investigating unexplained deaths.

The reason why a person dies, such as a heart attack or a stab wound.

The physiological process by which the cause of death leads to the actual death.

A type of death caused by lack of oxygen to the brain.

The sudden stoppage of the heart's pumping function.

The ceasing of breathing, leading to lack of oxygen reaching the body.

The study of diseases and injuries, including their causes and effects on the body.

Cause of Death is the 'why' a person died (e.g., heart attack), while Mechanism of Death is the 'how' the death occurred (e.g., heart stopped beating).

The underlying condition or series of events that led to the mechanism of death. For example, liver cirrhosis causing esophageal varices rupture and bleeding.

A sequence of medical events that led to the death, starting with the underlying cause and culminating in the mechanism of death.

A rare type of pneumonia caused by inhalation or aspiration of fatty substances, like Vitamin E Acetate.

Forensic pathology investigates the initial event that triggered a cascade of medical issues and analyzes their consequences.

Existing medical conditions that co-exist with the cause of death and potentially influence the outcome.

Conditions outside the body that might have contributed to death, such as exposure to toxins or accidents.

A life-threatening condition caused by a severe infection that spreads throughout the body.

A chronic respiratory disease causing inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing.

Basic measurements indicating a person's physiological state, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation.

Bag-Valve Mask (BVM) is a manual ventilation device used to provide artificial breaths to patients who cannot breathe on their own. It is often used in emergency situations to deliver oxygen and manually inflate the lungs.

Lack of conscious response to external stimuli, potentially indicating a medical emergency.

End Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2) is a measure of the carbon dioxide concentration in exhaled air, used to assess ventilation and oxygenation.
