..and I feel a little silly asking, since it's probably some obvious reason: Why do they perform autopsies when it's clear how someone died? I ask because I was just reading about that woman that was shot at the CNN building, and they're doing one on her. I can't seem to figure out what the purpose is.

Or maybe she was coked out of her mind, and it was actually a hit to get rid of a snitch.

The sad reality is 90% of the time it's for life insurance claims.

1. Actual cause of death ain't always same as apparent cause of death
2. Any chemical alteration (Alcohol, Cocaine, Cannabis, McDonald's etc.)
3. Establishing or confirming time of death
4. In suspected homicides, can indicate some characteristics of assailant (e.g. height, right/left-handedness, strength etc.)
5. Some folks get off on cutting a big letter 'Y' into people (I know I always have)
6. Other evidence that can be aggregated (e.g pregnancy, chronic or terminal conditions at t.o.d.)
7. Can be required by Life Assurance firms if the deceased was heavily insured
8. Public Health records (Epidemiologists need data, dammit)
9. Any indications of other external infringements (hidden wounds, internal soft-tissue injuries, foreign body-fluids)
But mostly 5.

I don't get it though...
The life insurance company wants to be sure she died from being shot? In the head? At close range? With witnesses? Why pay for an autopsy (which I'm sure isn't *that* cheap) when it's so clear?
I'm missing something stupid here, I just know it.

Also, in the case of gunshot wounds, it can be used to determine distance of the shooter, angle of entry ,type of ammo used, and can recover parts of the ammo that may help to prove or disprove guilt . (Such as indentation markings on bullets, which tend to be unique from weapon to weapon)
You obviously don't watch CSI:LAPD.
Neither do I, but I'm pretty sure they talk about that stuff

I try not to watch any TV shows with acronyms in the title. They usually stand for something I don't want to see.

I'm flexible enough to not need the TV to see that.
