Study of Hundred Medico-Legal Autopsies Conducted Under Video photography
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
As per National Human Rights Commission’s recommendation, video recording of the autopsy by empanelled videographer in cases of custodial death is mandatory. Video autopsy is also performed in cases of exhumation, dowry death & medical negligence cases. But for proper administration of justice & to stop the misuse of the advancement of technology, we should strictly follow some guidelines, mainly to maintain a proper 'chain of custody'. Present survey considers different aspects of 100 autopsy cases done under video photography. It was observed that 80% of cases were from correctional homes & vagrant homes. 67% were malnourished. In 80% cases, death was due to some disease condition involving respiratory system. It was concluded that autopsies conducted under video photography are actually yielding more authentic, unbiased reports from legal perspective. But they may not be scientifically superior always. Mostly the death is natural; cause of death is already diagnosed during their stay in hospital. In these, the utility of autopsy under videography is doubtful & debatable.
