Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanism of death is the specific body failure that leads to death.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cause of death is the disease or injury that produces the physiological disruption inside the body resulting in death, for example, a gunshot wound to the chest. The mechanism of death is the physiological derangement that results in the death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mechanism of death is the immediate physiologic derangement resulting in death (e.g. hemorrhage, sepsis, asphyxia), which is not etiologically specific. COD and MOD are determined based on the circumstances of the death, examination of the body and ancillary studies as appropriate.

Detailed explanation-4: -The classifications are natural, accident, suicide, homicide, undetermined, and pending. Only medical examiner’s and coroners may use all of the manners of death. Other certifiers must use natural or refer the death to the medical examiner.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mechanisms of death are never etiologically specific and are unacceptable as substitutes for the underlying cause of death. Common fatal mechanisms of death include congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, septicemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hepatic failure and anoxic encephalopathy.
