Precision in Justice, Excellence in Forensics
A Forensic Pathologist plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system by investigating sudden, unexplained, or suspicious deaths. Through the performance of autopsies, the Forensic Pathologist determines the cause and manner of death, which is often vital to criminal investigations. By recognizing patterns and trends in causes of death, forensic pathologists can identify potential public health concerns such as infectious disease outbreaks, substance abuse trends, and environmental hazards.
The responsibilities of this profession carry important legal implications. Expert opinions and courtroom testimony provided by forensic pathologists can influence the outcomes of trials, making accuracy, objectivity, and professionalism essential.

These deaths can be classified into several types based on the mechanism of oxygen deprivation. The main categories of Violent Asphyxial Deaths include Strangulation, Hanging, and Suffocation.
Hanging involves suspension of the body by the neck, typically using a ligature. Strangulation involves the compression of the neck, obstructing blood flow and/or airflow.
It can be further divided into- Manual Strangulation, Compression of the neck using hands or forearms[Throttling], Ligature Strangulation, Suffocation, Smothering & Obstruction of Airway by a gag or foreign body in the mouth[Gagging].
