Abstract | The credibility of forensic investigations and the legal system as a whole are seriously threatened by manipulation, negligence, and unethical behaviour during postmortem examinations. Breaking ethical rules can lead to inaccurate conclusions about the cause and manner of death, which compromises the validity of important forensic evidence used in court. Findings may be biased by outside influences from law enforcement, families, or well-known people, impeding the pursuit of justice. Furthermore, incorrect interpretations might arise from procedural errors and missed facts, which can be especially detrimental when forensic evidence is crucial. Falsifying documents is one example of an unethical behaviour that erodes public trust in medico-legal institutions. These challenges are made worse by a lack of funding, poor training, and possible conflicts of interest, all of which compromise the impartiality and thoroughness of postmortem investigations. To tackle these challenges and enhance accountability and integrity in the field of forensic pathology, it is crucial to undertake comprehensive reforms. This includes establishing stricter regulatory frameworks, upgrading infrastructure, boosting human resources, improving videographic documentation, providing enhanced ethical and specialized training, and ensuring more effective resource allocation. |
