In the context of your question, the scenario that would NOT typically necessitate an autopsy is:
death of a person dying of cancer
This is because if a person is known to have cancer and the death is expected due to the illness, an autopsy may not be required. The other scenarios (sudden death at a robbery, death in an automobile crash, and death at a specific scene) usually require investigation to determine the cause of death.
In the context of the question, pathologists need good communication skills in order to answer questions and relate empathetically in cases of wrongful death. Effective communication is essential for conveying complex medical information to families, legal teams, and other stakeholders involved in such sensitive situations.
