ANS: A, E
Medicolegal death investigations are usually conducted to clarify the unnatural circumstances in which death occurred. One of the outcomes of death investigation is death certificates. Outcomes of medicolegal death investigations do not typically involve court testimony, consultation with the defending or prosecuting attorneys for a fee, or permission to use the deceased organs for transplant.
