An important component of the autopsy
is the reconstitution of the body such that it can be viewed as normal
following the autopsy procedure.
- After the conduction of postmortem examination, the
body has an open and empty chest cavity with chest flaps open on both
sides, the top of the skull is missing, and the skull flaps are pulled
over the face and neck. All organs and tissue must be returned to the body
unless permission is given by the family to retain any tissue for further
investigation.
- Normally the internal body cavity is lined with cotton
wool or an appropriate material; the organs are then placed into a plastic
bag to prevent leakage and returned to the body cavity. The chest flaps
are then closed and sewn back together and the skull cap is sewed back in
place.
- The cases of mutilation/dismembered corpse must be
surgically repaired into a normal anatomical position.
- Then the body must be properly sutured and
reconstructed by the doctor conducting the autopsy with a cosmetic and
parlor touch and then only it should be handed over to the relative of
deceased as a regard of human corpse for ritual cremation
