What are the facts, why do you suspect foul play? Did a family member sign for an autopsy. Let's say a person shoots themself in the temple and the forensic evidence is congruent with suicide there may be no reason for autopsy or suspect foul play as opposed to someone found hanging from a tree who was already dead, that would suggest foul play and reason for autopsy.sysco said:Colorado
Carl, Thank you. But what is the difference in an autopsy and a post mortum examination? On the death certificate there is a place to note whether an autopsy was performed. How do I find out if a post mortum exam was done and what the findings were. (This is a family member - my father. We suspect there may have been foul play)
An autopsy is a surgical examination of the deceased ... a post mortem examination can be as simple as a physical examination of the remains and the circumstances ... maybe a toxicology screen as well.sysco said:Carl, Thank you.

If state law requires the exam I suspect it was done. But that exam could be as little as visually examining the deceased and seeing if the physical signs are consistent with the alleged cause of death.On the death certificate there is a place to note whether an autopsy was performed.

But no law WAS broken. An autopsy was NOT required.sysco said:But the autopsy not being done is the only thing I could think of that could be checked out as far as obvious laws being broken or procedures not being followed correctly. Thank you for your help.
