How Can Forensic Histology Determine Cause of Death?
Forensic histologists can identify signs of various conditions or injuries that might have contributed to death. For example, myocardial infarction (heart attack) can be confirmed by identifying necrosis in heart muscle cells, while liver cirrhosis might be evident from the presence of fibrotic tissue. In cases of poisoning, specific histological changes in organs like the liver or kidneys can provide clues.
