Inadequate Postmortem Reports: Investigating the Underlying Factors

Author(s) Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Country India
Abstract Postmortem reports play a vital role in forensic pathology, providing essential information about the causes of death needed for legal investigations. However, several factors undermine the quality of these reports, threatening their reliability and compromising the integrity of the judicial system. This study explores the key issues contributing to inadequate postmortem reports, such as the absence of standardized protocols, lack of adequate training for forensic staff, communication breakdowns, external pressures on forensic teams, overwhelmed laboratories with insufficient infrastructure, personnel, and equipment, and challenges in implementing new technologies. By examining these elements, the research seeks to identify opportunities for improvement to enhance the quality and accuracy of autopsies. An integrated approach is crucial for establishing standardized practices, upgrading facilities and equipment, increasing staffing and laboratory numbers, improving training for forensic professionals, and promoting better communication among all stakeholders in forensic investigations. The findings emphasize the need to address these systemic issues to produce more reliable postmortem reports, which are essential for delivering accurate forensic insights and ensuring just legal outcomes.
Keywords Postmortem reports, forensic pathology, underreporting, standardized protocols, communication breakdowns, external pressures, technology integration.
