  • A pathologist is the physician responsible for performing an autopsy. The pathologist is also the person responsible for reporting the findings in a final anatomic diagnosis. A diener is a technician who assists the pathologist performing the autopsy. The diener assists at different levels depending upon the type of institution (medical examiner's office, coroner's office, community hospital, teaching hospital affiliated with a medical school). The diener may play a minor role or perform the majority of the procedure.

  • A pathologist is the name in the UK too - the autopsy is normally part of a process prior to a coroner's inquest. The coroner - who is a legal professional can authorise an autopsy if someone dies in a fatal accident or under suspicious circumstances, but consultation with the next of kin is a proper step prior to the autopsy taking place.
