When are autopsies performed?

Autopsies are performed whenever there are unanswered questions about the cause of death. From TV detective shows you may think this is just for "suspicious" deaths but they may be performed in medical deaths to identify the cause of death or contributing problems. Autopsies can also estimate the time of death.Animal deaths can also require autopsies to determine if causes like pollution or parasite infestations led to the death. In the cases of illegal hunting (poaching) the investigation might be used for clues as to the poachers identity.
