**7. Cause of death**

While giving cause of death the word 'probably' should be avoided. The doctor must consider history, description of fatal environment and circumstances optimally provided by primary sources, treatment leading up to death which can cause injuries, before arriving an autopsy interpretation. After completing the post mortem examination, a complete but concise report should be prepared in duplicate. One copy is sent to investigating officer and another copy is retained for future references [3].
