Document every wound, injury, and finding in precise legal-grade language.
Tell detectives what the body revealed — and push back where the facts don't fit.
Explain autopsy findings to a judge and jury; hold firm under cross-examination.
Brief the on-call pathologist; unexpected deaths don't wait for business hours.
