Necrosis is commonly documented in the patient records with traumatic wounds, burns, pressure sores etc. Necrosis due to lack of oxygen such as with a MI would be considered part of the MI code as would any necrosis with infection in pneumonia. Gangrene would seem to be a complication of necrotic tissue.

Gangrene is dead tissue (necrosis) consequent to ischemia. In the image above, we can see a black area on half of the big toe in a diabetic patient. This black area represents necrosis—dead tissue—in fact, gangrene of the big toe.
Overview. Gangrene is death of body tissue due to a lack of blood flow or a serious bacterial infection. Gangrene commonly affects the arms and legs, including the toes and fingers.
Dry gangrene occurs when the blood supply to tissue is cut off. The area becomes dry, shrinks, and turns black. Wet gangrene occurs if bacteria invade this tissue. This makes the area swell, drain fluid, and smell bad.

Gangrenous necrosis can be considered a type of coagulative necrosis that resembles mummified tissue. It is characteristic of ischemia of lower limb and the gastrointestinal tracts. If superimposed infection of dead tissues occurs, then liquefactive necrosis ensues (wet gangrene).
Necrotizing fasciitis, also known as hemolytic streptococcal gangrene, is a very rare infection that spreads deep into the body along tissue planes.
The main types are: dry gangrene – where the blood flow to an area of the body becomes blocked. wet gangrene – caused by a combination of an injury and bacterial infection. gas gangrene – where an infection develops deep inside the body and the bacteria responsible begin releasing gas.
785.4 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of gangrene. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
If the gangrene is internal, you may run a fever and feel unwell, and the area may be swollen and painful.
Gangrene is a serious condition. It needs immediate attention. Treatment includes surgery, antibiotics, and oxygen therapy. In severe cases an amputation may be necessary.
