You must have heard about postmortem. When someone dies an unnatural death, a postmortem is conducted so that the cause of death can be ascertained. Today we are going to tell you why the organs are weighed during postmortem.

What is a postmortem?

Postmortem is a medical procedure, which is especially done in cases of unnatural deaths. Through this, doctors find out what was the cause of death and what could be the reason behind it.

Why are organs weighed?

Organs are weighed during a postmortem to determine if the size and weight of the organs are normal. If an organ is found to weigh more or less than normal, it may indicate that there may be a problem with that organ.

For example:

• Heart weight: If the heart weight is higher than normal, it may be a sign of heart related problems.
• Liver weight: If the liver weight is found to be increased, it may be a sign of liver diseases.

In this way, weighing organs helps doctors understand what health problems may be present in the body and also helps in determining the cause of death.
