Autopsy

Autopsy or the NCIS Morgue is a room in the NCIS Building where NCIS Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Mallard and his Assistants first Gerald Jackson and later James Palmer perform regular autopsies on the victims that NCIS usually come across wherever they're investigating a crime scene with Ducky's findings often determining if the death that the Major Case Response Team led by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is natural, accidental or murder.
In the NCIS Season 1 episode, Bête Noire (episode), it's revealed that Autopsy is also located directly underneath the Forensics Lab belonging to NCIS Forensic Scientist Abigail Sciuto and later Kasie Hines.
==Appearance==
The autopsy room or morgue is a large room with five or six walls, all of which are painted in white.
In the center of the room are three tables so that the victims's remains can be laid out on a single slab, enabling Ducky and Jimmy to perform the necessary autopsy with their findings ultimately determining the nature of the investigation.
In the corner of the room are drawers or slabs that are constantly kept at a cold temperature, to preserve the body. This is where the victims's bodies can be stored until their bodies can be brought back, presumably for a second examination or so that any relatives of the deceased can identify them before the bodies are released for burial.
Autopsy can be negative pressurized in the event of a biological hazard, as seen in the NCIS Season 2 episode, SWAK (episode) when a letter containing a Y. Pestis variant was opened in the office.
