(From Wikipedia)
An autopsy, also known as a post-mortem examination, ... is a medical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present ...

The prefix 'auto-' means 'self', and so autopsy means 'to see for oneself'.

(From Dictionary.com)
Definition of autopsy:
#1. Inspection and dissection of a body after death, as for determination of the cause of death; post-mortem examination.
#2. An analysis of something after it has been done or made.
