manner of death. The manner of death can be natural, homicide, suicide, accidental,
and undetermined.
Instructions:

• Define each term and discuss what the medical examiner would look for during
the autopsy in your particular case to determine what those results would be.
• What evidence would be found during autopsy that would lead to that
conclusion?
