Abstract: We read with interest the recent letter-to-the-editor on targeted and minimally invasive post-mortem examination with total body computed tomography (TPM). Reasons suggested for routinely using TPM included advances in radiology, cultural reasons and caseload. TPM was recommended in a suicide, natural deaths and drug related deaths, which represent a significant portion of routine casework.
