Lung blood clot,post-mortem. This is a pulmonary embolism,a blood clot (black,centre) that has occurred inside a lung. An embolism occurs when an abnormal blood clot (thrombus) blocks a blood vessel,in this case a pulmonary vein. Post-mortem examinations,also known as autopsies,are carried out to identify a cause of death,and to assess the health of a dead person's organs.
