Psychological Autopsy Investigation
A psychological autopsy supports to better understand the why behind a suicide completion of an individual. Think of this as the other side of a medical autopsy to learn about the individual and events that could have caused a move towards suicide death. This involves understanding the life of the individual, family history, mental health history, and pertinent events and stress the individuals might have experiences before ending their life. It is a way to piece together the last moments of life to help bring healing to a family or timeline for an organization.
