1 Empress Nkosi Cass D. Parker Forensic Science 10 February 2024 Survey of Forensic Science (FOSC 1101/SCI 1901F) Module 5 Assignment: 5 1. What is the difference between a Coroner and a Forensic Pathologist? (2 pts) Coroners are elected to investigate deaths, whereas Forensic Pathologists, who are medically trained examiners, specialize in performing autopsies to establish the cause and way of death. Unlike a Forensic Pathologist, a Coroner can or cannot possess a medical degree, but they are still responsible for overseeing death investigations. whereas, a forensic pathologist is a licensed physician who specializes in performing thorough examinations to identify the details and causes of death. 2. Explain each of these terms in one sentence: (a) Autopsy. (2 pts) (b) Toxicology. (2 pts) (a) An autopsy is a thorough examination of a deceased body, often through dissection, to determine the cause and manner of death. (b) Toxicology involves analyzing body fluids and tissues to identify the presence or absence of drugs and poisons, providing insights into potential substances that may have contributed to or caused the person's death. 3. What conclusions about the position of a victim and an attacker can be drawn from the presence of defensive wounds on the forearms and hands of the victim? How about defensive wounds on the legs and feet? (3 pts

2 Defensive wounds on the victim's body can reveal important details about a violent encounter. For example, wounds on the arms and hands could suggest a defensive stance, implying an intense and close meeting with the attacker. Wounds on the legs and feet may indicate a struggle to escape. Examining these injuries can reveal information about the nature of the confrontation, including the positions and movements of both the victim and the perpetrator during the violent incident . 4. Briefly describe the processes of algor mortis, livor mortis, and rigor mortis. (9 pts Algor mortis, livor mortis, and rigor mortis are postmortem changes that help forensic scientists assess the time of death. Algor mortis occurs by changes in temperature in the body, livor mortis by bloodstream settling in lower regions due to gravity, and rigor mortis by stiffness in the muscles within a day after death. Recognizing these processes allows forensic professionals to better understand the circumstances surrounding a death, which contributes to the overall timeline evaluation in forensic investigations.
