Weighing the dead person on a drive-through scale before the autopsy

Forensic experts are responsible for deaths with suspected non-natural causes or for victims of violent crimes. Comprehensive autopsy is formally regulated in the Code of Criminal Procedure and in most cases enables the manner of death to be clarified. The weight of the deceased is also an important parameter during the autopsy and inventory. A drive-through scale is used here, with which the dead can be weighed directly on the stretcher without having to be reburied. A sensible and practical approach.
