A Few Good Men

Lt. Daniel Kaffee finally makes Col. Jessup admit that he was giving the order for a Code Red. Dawson and Downey are found 'not guilty' on most charges, but 'guilty' on the charge of conduct unbecoming a US Marine. Though they avoid jail time, they are dishonourably discharged from the Marines.

Question: While questioning the doctor on the witness stand, Kaffee asks him if a heart condition could have caused the fatal lactic acidosis rather than a mysterious poison on the rag stuffed in his mouth. Under the circumstances of the Marine's death, wouldn't a complete autopsy have been performed to positively determine the cause of death? And if an autopsy were performed, wouldn't the heart condition have easily been discovered?

Answer: An autopsy can show what physically caused a death, but not necessarily what led up to it. Kaffee is trying to prove that there could be more than one reason for the marine's death.
