The Psychological Autopsy The Psychological Autopsy is an attempt to reconstruct the personality profile and cognitive features of deceased. This postmortem psychological analysis is also called reconstructive psychological evaluation and equivocal death analysis. Psychological autopsies are important to: • Assist certifying officials to clarify deaths that are ambiguous, uncertain, or equivocal as to the manner of death Aid in investigation to determine insurance payments and national security issues. • To make a reasonable determination of what may have been in the mind of the deceased person leading up to and at the time of death-particularly if the death appears to be a suicide Psychological autopsies differ from criminal profiling in two important ways: (1) the profile is constructed on a dead person, and (2) the identity of the person is already known.
