1) TRUE.
2) FALSE.

Answer 1

Death investigation involves the work of a forensic pathologist and a forensic anthropologist, among others.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Death investigation involves the work of both a forensic pathologist and a forensic anthropologist, among others. While a forensic pathologist determines the cause of death, a forensic anthropologist assists in identifying human remains and provides information to the forensic pathologist to make a final determination regarding the cause of death. Forensic anthropology involves the study of archaeological excavation, hair examination, understanding of plants and insects, determining time of death, and analyzing skeletal and dental evidence.
