How are forensic pathology and autopsy pathology different?

Different focus: A medical autopsy is an essential tool in disease discovery and quality assurance of medical care. A forensic autopsy is more geared to determining the cause and manner of death and investigating foul play. Both require training to be md-pathologist and additional training for forensic autopsy.

Different focus: Hospital autopsies performed by non-forensic pathologists are performed for documenting medical diseases and the extent of their involvement. This helps with teaching and quality control. Forensic autopsies concentrate on the cause of death and include more extensive exams including toxicology and other testing not usually performed in a hospital.

Autopsy/forensic: Autopsy pathology is a very general term and simply refers to a post-mortem examination due to any cause, due to medical illness or other. Forensic pathology specifically refers to a post-mortem examination due to non-natural forms of death (accident, homicide, suicide, etc), and can involve toxicology, ballistics, type of weapon evaluation, etc, to establish manner of death
