title: [Medical autopsy. Problems in the medical field, in judicial inquiries and with federal laws].
abstract: A basic duty of coroner's inquest is to ascertain whether death was due to an internal or external cause or cause of death remains unclear; economic constrains and less effort for the coroner's inquest lead to blunders on several levels: the physician's level, the level of judicial inquiry and the Land governments. Typical negative and positive marks as well as intermediate stages on each of these levels are pointed out, perspectives are shown.
