instituto médico legal
city morgue


Explanation:
For those of you who live in the USA or UK, if a person dies out of a hospital, where is the person taken to? For example, in a road accident? I thought it would be straight to the city morgue (USA) and once there, a pathologist would determine the cause of death.

The purpose of an autopsy is to observe and make a permanent legal record as soon as possible of the gross and minute anatomical peculiarities of a recently discovered dead body. Autopsies are typically done at a local hospital or at the county morgue, although some are done in private offices or in funeral parlors.

Morgue is predominately used in American English, whilst mortuary is more common in British English.
