Forensic autopsy was carried out to determine the manner and cause of death. Forensic autopsy is always done when the cause of death is suspected to have been criminal (Vij, 2014). The now deceased had a disagreement with the husband and uncertainly died, therefore the forensic autopsy. Clinical autopsy could have not been done as the cause of death was evident.

The autopsy indicated a well inflated lungs and moderate agonal congestion which supports that GW had started CPR.  The claims by GW would have been supported by evident changes in the ribs of the deceased.

The stomach of the deceased was found to be empty since the victim had not taken any solid closer to the point of death. The diseased only took lots of alcohol after breakfast which is absorbed directly into the body system.

The liver was expected to show signs of focal lesions in addition to the paleness and bile stains. The liver should have also been lobular dues to malfunction dues to the overdose and form a mottling pattern as well as grossly necrotic.

There was no fatty change during the autopsy as well as lack of fibrosis indicates abnormality. The paleness of the liver and was an abnormal histological evidence. Yes these would have been as a result of the care of the patient in the last two days prior to death (Kharoshah et.al 2011). The normal historical depends on various factors including patience care thus the condition of the patient in the last two days caused the abnormality.

According to the police report, TA had relationship problems with the husband. The deceased financial problems as well and had been referred to a doctor as a result of depression. Based on these the patient had the motive and means to commit suicide.

The manner of death in this case was natural as no any other substance was found within the diseased body during the autopsy. The deceased died a natural death as a result of too much consumption of alcohol and which affected the body system leading to death.

Alcohol poisoning, based on the evidence of the autopsy report the deceased died of alcohol poisoning which is a result too much alcohol in the blood stream (Byard & Payne, 2015). The deceased had an empty stomach as all the consumed alcohol had moved to the blood stream affecting brain activities thus low breathing rate, reduce heart rate leading to shuttering of all system of the body.

There were other test such alcohol poisoning tests would have been done to check if the deceased could have been suffering from the effect of excess alcohol present in the blood stream.

This would have been done immediately the deceased was brought into the hospital as this could have led to various mechanisms to eliminate alcohol within blood stream even though the patient would have experienced brain effects in case of survival.

 The deceased died at the age of 27 year, at this age the cause of death is mostly suicide and accidental poisoning. The deceased is likely to have died of alcohol misuse as well as relationship problems. The death therefore consistent to the data as indicated in epidemiology module two.
