External Body Exam

This video is a short portion of a larger online course from the Death Investigation Training Academy. More information can be found at: https://ditacademy.org/education/ Let’s get into some actual skill based lessons. In this, the sixth week of this training, we are going to look at how an investigator does an external exam of a body. We are going to also discuss why this is important at the scene prior to transporting the body. An initial exam while still on the scene is imperative for the overall determination of cause and manner as well as collecting time-sensitive facts and evidence. This exam is only the first of two external exams. This one being on the scene and the second one at autopsy. The on-scene exam documents what the investigator sees and what wounds, scars, tattoos, etc. are present on the body. It is at this stage that much of the trace evidence used in a case will either be located or preserved for future collection. Who conducts the exam It most situations the medicolegal death investigator representing the Medical Examiner or Coroner will conduct the exam. In most jurisdictions, the ME / Coroner is responsible for the body and the evidence attached to. This is set by State statute. In the absence of a qualified investigator, either through experience or absence. A LE investigator or CSI might conduct the exam. Documenting The body exam must be properly documented at the scene from the time the investigator arrives through the removal of the body. These scene documentation notes are then used to inform the pathologist and prepare the final case summary.
