Many crimes have been solved using forensic pathology; any type of autopsy can show evidence on how someone was killed and when. Dr. Michael Baden has solved many murders, for example the John F. Kennedy assassination. Also Baden has dealt with high profile cases like the Ted Binion, O.J. Simpson, and Dr. Michael Swango (serial killer), all with help from his expertise in crime scene skills and autopsies. The autopsy plays a huge role in crime investigations because it can give you information such as when the death took place and why the victim is dead. Most autopsies help a lot when drugs, alcohol or abuse has taken a role in the crime. Sometimes during the clinical part of an autopsy traces such as fibers and fingerprints can show up helping find the perpetrator. With all the information autopsies give a crime scene is much easier to solve.
