Document Summary
The cause of death identifies the injury or disease that led to the chain of events resulting in death, whereas the manner of death is the way in which the incident of deat comes about. Ontario, quebec, british columbia, new brunswick, north west territories, pei, saskatchewan, yukon and nunavut are all coroner systems. Alberta, manitoba, nova scotia, newfoundland and labrador all follow medical examiner systems. The pathologist often uses a voice recorder during the autopsy to ensure that little details are not missed later in the report. Autopsy reports cannot be released until all of the lab results have been received. Anthropology is the study of humans, their cultures and their biology. Forensic anthropology is the application of the study of humans to situations of modern legal or public concern. This typically takes the form of collecting and analyzing human skeletal remains to help identify victims and reconstruct the events surrounding their deaths.
