PROCEDURAL POSITION OF A DOCTOR DURING EXAMINATION OF A CORPSE

The article is devoted to the analysis of the procedural position of a doctor during the examination of a corpse in modern criminal proceedings. Its relevance is due to the normative and doctrinal uncertainty of the status of this participant in criminal proceedings, associated with the absence of special rules that would establish his rights, duties and responsibilities. The object area of the study in the article is the provisions of the current criminal procedure law and healthcare legislation, as well as synchronous doctrinal positions indicating the procedural position of a doctor during the examination of a corpse. The analysis of this object area forms the main goal of the work. The main methods used in the work are the formal-legal and chronodiscrete approaches. The conclusions of the article are as follows. The current legislation of Russia does not contain clear elements that determine the procedural position of a doctor during the examination of a corpse. At the same time, the article reveals doctrinal conflicts between the approaches of lawyers and doctors, which hinder the theoretical certainty of the position of a doctor during the examination of a corpse
