A forensic pathologist is a medical doctor who studies diseases and performs autopsies, while a coroner investigates and determines the cause of sudden or unexplained deaths, often without a medical degree.

An autopsy (also referred to as post-mortem examination, obduction, necropsy, or autopsia cadaverum) is a surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause, mode, and manner of death or the exam may be performed to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present for research or educational purposes. The term necropsy is generally used for non-human animals.

Autopsies are usually performed by a specialized medical doctor called a pathologist. Only a small portion of deaths require an autopsy to be performed, under certain circumstances. In most cases, a medical examiner or coroner can determine the cause of death.

• A coroner is elected or appointed to a local government office, while a forensic pathologist is a medical doctor trained to perform autopsies and other procedures to determine the cause of death.
• A forensic pathologist is able to perform medical operations while coroners may specialize in the legal paperwork and law enforcement side of a death.
• The title of “medical examiner” is usually the job title of a forensic pathologist who works for a government.
• In many jurisdictions, a coroner does not need to possess a medical degree.
