Re: Pathologists, coroners, medical examiners, and www.google.com

First, let me do one of my routine advertisements for ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SEARCH ENGINE ON THE WEB:

google.com

Here is a bit from one of the items it turned up for me, which may explain why E at first was not sure whether "pathologist" was the right word.

A pathologist is a physician with a specialty in the scientific study of body parts. This always includes a year or more learning to do autopsies.

Under the laws of most states, autopsy can be ordered by the government. A coroner is a political position, while a medical examiner is a physician, usually a pathologist. Exactly who makes the decisions, and who just gives advice, depends on the jurisdiction. Autopsies can be ordered in every state when there is suspicion of foul play. In most states, autopsy can be ordered when there is some public health concern, i.e., a mysterious disease or a worry about the quality of health care. In most states, an autopsy may be ordered if someone dies unattended by a physician (or attended for less
than 24 hours), or if the attending physician is uncomfortable signing the death certificate.
