Femicide, understood as the death of a woman, because of her status as a woman o because of her gender identity, represents a challenge from the forensic approach, which requires a critical look from the medical examiner to interpret the findings he sees in the corpses and integrate it with the context information provided by authority, in such a way that a complete and comprehensive autopsy is carried out that guides the authorities in the judicial investigation process. This presentation seeks to take a look at those aspects of the autopsy that allow a comprehensive approach to death with suspected femicide
