my Dad died out of state, so they said Autopsy was necessary? He has a massive coronary.

If you die in the hospital and a doctor signs, your death certificate you wouldn’t do an autopsy, correct?

My best friend went to bed last month and didn’t wake up. 42. Rural Oklahoma. No autopsy. I’m so angry about it. Almost as angry as I am at her for not waking up. It should be mandatory period across the board.

What happens if a family says they don’t want an autopsy on their loved one that died even though it was a situation where it was recommended (ie someone mid 50-65 found down but no reason to suspect foul play)

What is the one autopsy you've done that will stick with you forever? Such as age and cause of death?

My husband died of colon cancer at 37. They asked if I wanted an autopsy and I said no.

You mentioned you frequently do fetal autopsy I assume all from stillbirths. How often do these actually identify a cause of fetal demise? From my experience many moms really never find an actual answer as to what happened. What makes this so difficult to identify?

My grandpa had a seizure in his sleep, they didn’t autopsy. He was 73, I think.

Is drawing blood during an autopsy different than “normal” since you don’t have the typical heartbeat and smooth muscle contraction?

I was surprised to hear that the majority of your cases are pre-term.

My cousin passed way at around 62. History of diabetes & alcoholism. The deputy coroner said he probably had a massive heart attack or ruptured aneurysm. She told his partner that the autopsy wouldn’t answer that question. I didn’t think that was true but I didn’t say anything because not my job. Do you think they would’ve found the cause of death with an autopsy? I just thought that it was strange that she claimed they wouldn’t.

Hey why do you perform autopsies on fetuses usually? Is this state-sanctioned in states with anti-abortion laws to find evidence of abortion?

I’m curious about who pays you? Are you paid for each autopsy you do? Or are you salaried? And is it the hospital who pays you, or is it some kind of insurance? Thanks 😊

My half sisters son was taken via C at 38 weeks. He was stillborn and the hospital gave her the option at her cost. She said no because she is an addict.

even police are less likely to investigate a elderly unattended passing. so, who knows for sure if elderly are always passing from natural causes if there's no outward evidence

Should you call the police if an 87 year old grandparent passes in bed?

When my mom 72 passed at a hospital (after battling cancer) the dr asked me and my sister if we wanted an autopsy which we refused because she was in hospital
