Autopsy - Kenshi

Japanese: 検死 - けんし
Autopsy - Kenshi
Also written as autopsy. A doctor examines the exterior of a corpse to estimate the cause of death, the time since death, etc., and to clarify whether the death was due to illness or unnatural causes, and if unnatural, whether it was suicide, homicide, accident, etc. In cases of unnatural death or suspicion of unnatural death, the doctor is obligated to notify the police, and a public prosecutor will then carry out an autopsy. In areas where the medical examiner system is in place, medical examiners are the main investigators, while in other areas, general practitioners are responsible for autopsies.
