Yes, actually, it is called cryptozoology, the study of hidden animals.  They study things like Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra, Mothman, and the Yeti.  A zoologist is just a person who studies animals.

Excellent question. Police officers can and do pronounce individuals dead when it is obvious. Sometimes EMTs may disturb a crime scene and, therefore, the EMT is not needed to pronounce death. These are on obvious cases. A well meaning EMT may want to help, but sometimes, they are not needed to pronounce death. Body position and the overall scene are extremely important in death investigations. An officer does not want someone to contaminate the crime scene. If the EMT arrives at the scene first and is actively working on an individual, most officers would assume that they are going to transport him or her. Other times, an EMT will wait for the officer before going into the scene due to the nature of the call (weapons, etc.).

You ask alot of questions regarding things that seem to be pointing to something bigger. However autopsys where I live are not performed out of necessity but by request. Depends on local laws regarding death.

FP as an abbreviation in medicine refers to Family Practice not Forensic Pathologist.\nThe medical examiner is usually an official title of a medical doctor for the county (or region) who investigates suspicious death or illnesses. He may be a pathologist or not. They are often elected officials (like coroner) or may be appointed by the governor.\nThe Forensic Pathologist is a medical doctor who takes special training in the forensic (legal evidence) aspects of injuries, illnesses and deaths. \nThere is not distinction between live, ill or dead patients. \nThey are both doctors.\nA coroner does not need to be a doctor in all jurisdictions and one person can be all three (he can have all three titles).

Certain artifacts are specific to death and resuscitation efforts and should be easily recognized by forensic pathologists. I have only ever worked in places where the coroners *were* physicians, unlike the respondent above - they weren't pathologists, but would be aware of general medical issues, so they should recognize these too - but in general (e.g. if you're writing a novel) it would be fair to say that coroners might be more concerned.\n\nAlso, the role of the coroner is often to decide whether or not a case gets a forensic autopsy, and so they are going more on circumstances of death. For instance, if one of my patients dies, there is a list of certain "flags" that mean the coroner has to be called - e.g. patient recently had surgery; patient lived in an old-age care home; patient died within 24 hours of hospital admission; patient died of complications relating to pregnancy/childbirth; patient died unexpectedly... The coroner will ask questions about what is thought to be the cause of death, recent health, etc., and decide whether to order an autopsy or to let the physician sign off on the death certificate.\n\nSpecific artefacts include: darkening of the skin over the dependent part of the body (usually the back of the shoulders and trunk, if the body is lying on its back) due to pooling of blood after death; cracked sternum or ribs broken over the front of the chest from CPR efforts (usually with some associated bruising); possible red marks/patches from the defibrillator pads. Depending on what was done during resuscitation there may also be mouth or nasal injuries from rapid insertion of endotracheal tubes (not usually, but for instance teeth could be chipped) and bruising from insertion of intravenous access. If things got really crazy there could be puncture marks in the left upper quadrant from an attempt to stick a large needle into the heart sac (to drain possible cardiac tamponade = fluid around heart) or chest tubes inserted.\n\nMost of these are pretty evident. If, however, you have someone who had a crushing blow to the chest, it obviously would be important to recognize this as cause of death and not write off bruising/rib fractures as related to resuscitation.\n\nThere are other, internal findings that can be incidental but may be relevant. Kids get a skeletal survey, which checks all the bones for evidence of old fractures (possible indicator of past abuse.) Hope this is the kind of info you were looking for.
