Annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation recommens that the state conducting the inquiry into a fatal aviation accident should encourage internal autopsy by an aviation pathologist of those killed. Many countries recognise the value of such examinations on operating crew, but require the examination of passengers merely as aids to identification and to the investigation of the cause of death.
