[Medicolegal autopsy--realization of procedural and essential requirements]

According to law a medicolegal autopsy can in practice be carried out by every physician. Strict cooperation between the physician and the prosecutor must guarantee the carrying out of all formal and medical procedures and in the meantime without overstepping the competence of the expert. The lack of precise regulations concerning all medicolegal procedures during the autopsy (like those from 1928) cause conflicting situations which in turn may not allow for all essential procedures to be undertaken in order to solve a specific case.
