Abstract
Establishing an accurate medical cause of death is a policy requirement in the United Kingdom. It is also important for social and ethical reasons and for health care practice and planning. This leads to England and Wales having one of the highest autopsy rates in the world [1]. These autopsies are often performed for sudden and unexpected but natural deaths and therefore have a very different demographic from the cases undergoing investigation after traumatic or potentially homicidal deaths.
