What is the meaning of Autopsy ?

We used to hear the word Autopsy in Tv channels. But do you know what is the meaning of Autopsy ?

Just simply Autopsy means postmortem.

Detailed description : Autopsy is the detailed interrogation / analysis of a dead body. This is done to determine the reason of death.

Postmortem is usually done for accidental death or for unnatural death.

For example :- If some one dies from an accident then doctor's will do necropsy to find the cause of death.

We used to hear this phrase associated with news related to death of famous people. Now you would have realized that the meaning of Autopsy report is merely detailed medical examination report.
