I think they're interchangeably used
Medical examiners usually work with the police and their job mainly involves checking dead bodies and determining the cause of death.
A pathologist can do the same thing while also work in hospital laboratories and preform regular tests on tissues and stuff.

A coroner is also a government official in charge of investigating suspicious deaths, but they don't have to be a doctor.
