When death certificates already completed are submitted during forensic post-mortem examinations or autopsies, blatant errors are often found, especially with regard to the classification of the manner of death. This is partly attributable to insufficient knowledge of the classification criteria, but also to the fact that the post-mortem examination was not properly performed and even clear signs of unnatural death (e.g. a strangulation mark or sharp force injuries) are overlooked. To avoid such misinterpretations, a thorough reformation of the post-mortem examination system and a regular continuing specialized training of the physicians performing post-mortems seem necessary.
在法医尸检或解剖过程中提交已填写好的死亡证明时,常常会发现明显的错误,尤其是在死亡方式的分类方面。这部分归因于对分类标准的了解不足,但也归因于尸检操作不当,甚至明显的非自然死亡迹象(如勒痕或锐器伤)被忽视。为避免此类误解,对尸检系统进行全面改革以及对进行尸检的医生定期开展持续专业培训似乎很有必要。
