CTC Student Is Hit by A Car the Driver Flees the Accident Scene Question

 

I’m studying and need help with a Criminal Justice question to help me learn.

When a young child dies, it has to be determined if the death was the result of an accident, natural causes, or non-accidental trauma. For this cause to be determined, there must be an investigation followed by an autopsy where the medical examiner will determine cause and manner of death. Provide one scenario from the following: accident, natural, or homicide. Describe the circumstances surrounding the death and how the investigation would be conducted concentrating on developing evidence that can be physical or testimonial from interviews of witnesses or possible perpetrators. Finally, describe what findings developed during autopsy would result in the cause and manner of death.
