OBJECTIVEIntroduction: Forensic medical examination is a mandatory investigative action in determining the causes of death of newborns. It is especially significant and occupies a key place in proving the corpus deliciti. The aim is to study the current legal issues of a forensic medical examination of newborns' corpses.PATIENTS AND METHODSMaterials and methods: The study of legal and literary sources was carried out. The library-semantic and the content analysis methods were applied.CONCLUSIONConclusions: Forensic medical examination should also include questions regarding the mother of the newborn: whether she was healthy at the time of delivery; if the medical staff caused any harm to her or her child; if she had the necessary help before and during the childbirth, etc. Examination should be appointed if one of the parents has the desire, which must be expressed in writing in the form of a motion.
