- unexpected
- unusual
- unattended by a medical doctor (or nurse in a hospital, but a nurse cannot pronounce death)
Unexpected - for example, the death of a teenager at home in his own bed, no signs of foul play
Unusual - for example, unexpected, and scene points to foul play, like, being shot
Unattended - this accounts for the majority of autopsies.
