among survivors. Talking to the bereaved is a sacred responsibility, and
we strive to conduct ourselves with compassion, caring and genuine
concern. This is a critical aspect in serving our public.
Deaths due to homicide represent a significant percentage of our work.

and prosecution in homicide cases. Forensic pathology also plays a part
in motor vehicle deaths, which sometimes involve criminal or civil

defense attorneys to assist them in understanding the results of the death
investigation and autopsy, which improves the efficiency of the criminal
