The autopsy service performs the important functions of determining the immediate and underlying cause of death. Autopsies evaluating the whole body or select organs (such as brain or heart only) are performed by autopsy pathologists and consultant pathologists as needed. Despite advances in clinical tests, post-mortem evaluations often provide useful, sometimes unexpected, information to understand the course of the decedent's disease. The autopsy service also supports Institution Review Board (IRB)-approved clinical research studies.
