autopsie médico-légale : Ne pas confondre avec «autopsie judiciaire». En effet, l’adjectif «médico-légal» désigne les domaines de spécialisation concernés (médical et légal) tandis que «judiciaire» indique que l’autopsie est demandée par la justice, dans un cas de mort brutale ou suspecte, sans accord de la famille, les conclusions étant remises aux seules autorités judiciaires. 2, record 1, French, - autopsie%20m%C3%A9dico%2Dl%C3%A9gale
