The reason why I chose to include this was because it is evidence we use autopsies as a major part of forensics. We use death to investigate and find out what happened to the individual

Since autopsies are crucial to forensics science, such as investigating, I wanted to include one from here in North America. It is essential for our community to know that this because this happened at a time when the Americas were created, therefore impacting both you and I.

As you may know, arsenic is a poison that various individuals would use to get away with murder. This can be used as evidence and this was a well known element because it is hard to detect in a crime.

1784 Physical evidence used in criminal cases first recorded instance of physical matching of evidence leading to a murder conviction (John Toms, England). Evidence was a torn edge of newspaper in a pistol that matched the newspaper in his pocket.

This is crucial to having more than a basic understanding of how things work in our bodies and our surroundings. This can be beneficial to forensics, that way they know how a healthy body works vs a non healthy body when conducting the crime.
