CHINA Photos show the initial examination of the murdered Chinese woman before the forensic autopsy. Two deep stab wounds were found on her neck, as well as a strangulation groove. Although it is clear that she was murdered, the autopsy results may provide crucial evidence needed for the police investigation.
Sometimes, even though the cause of death may seem clear, a forensic autopsy may reveal additional circumstances that would not otherwise be apparent. Performing an autopsy will also help determine the exact mechanism of death, compare the findings with evidence seized at the scene, and rule out other causes of death. Finally, it provides evidence for the court.
