Abstract
Cases brought for autopsy with an allegation of death due to the medical negligence are being reported. First case was filed on a doctor with an allegation of death because of not realizing about ectopic pregnancy in this case of post abortion care but the doctor was saved when histopathological examination could not establish a product of conception. Second case was with an allegation that the case could have been saved if her blood, urine and vomitus would have been sent to the lab for specific poison determination followed by specific treatment. Third case has shown the importance of informed consent. Fourth case was with an allegation: "How can a man just with abdominal pain die with endoscopic examination and why were they not informed prior to the procedure about its lethal complication".
