When my mom died, at home , at age 99, the ambulance
people said that
an autopsy has to be performed when someone dies at home. The police
also came and said the same thing.
When my mother-in-law passed, in the hospital, no autopsy needed to be
done.
I did not ask specifics in either case.
Was an autopsy actually done? Did they contact you with a report/result? I can almost
guarantee that a 99 y.o. passing in her home will not warrant an autopsy short of some
other horrible thing happening at the same time e.g. arsonist set the house on fire and
now the DA wants to link the death to the arson to add a murder charge.
