Numerous genomic analyses of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) have been conducted, highlighting its variations and lineage transitions. Despite the importance of forensic autopsy in investigating deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), including out‐of‐hospital...
