ABSTRACT
An autopsy is a post-mortem assessment or examination of a body. It is performed by a physician trained in the specialty and authorized by law. The approach of the forensic pathologist to the investigation of a death is different from that of the hospital pathologist. Several health care areas are dependent on people's willingness to dispose of their body or parts thereof after death, and the issue of procedures involving corpse‟s entails important and, to some extent, growing problems. At this time there were still strong religious and social objections to the autopsy. There are also difficulties in providing corpses for anatomy education. The reasons behind these problems are probably manifold; some would be connected with the attitudes of people in general. This short review paper describe briefly only of its practical aspect of medicolegal autopsy with a brief historical review on its “Religious and Social Attitudes”.
