Private/Personal Benefits
Digital Autopsy affords dignity and respect to the deceased and is considered more humane. A post-mortem without the need for an invasive procedure eases the family's pain at a difficult time and also means in many occasions that the coroner can release the body sooner than they can for a normal invasive post- mortem. Additionally, Digital Autopsy offers religious and cultural benefits.
