Does California law require an autopsy if the death is in a teaching hospital?

An autopsy is not required when a person has been under physicians care in a medical facility at the time of death. The exceptions would be, if the cause of death cannot be determined or if there is reason to believe negligence or a criminal act (such as assisted suicide) is involved. Immediate family members have the legal right to request an autopsy if they so choose whether the attending physician is in agreement or not.

Does Texas law require an autopsy?

Autopsies are not generally "required" in any state by law. However, the autopsy is a tool the Medical Examiner uses to determine the cause of Death: Homicide. Accidental. Natural Causes. This way the police have more information on the victim to best bring justice to the family. Now, an autopsy is sometimes "requested" by a Life Insurance Provider before the release of any benefits. Also, the victims family can "request" an auotopsy not be performed because of religious reasons. However, an autopsy is not always needed if the person died from a diagnosed terminal illness, and has been in the care of a physician. In any case whether autopsies is performed or not performed is ususally up to the family.


What are reasons for performing an autopsy?

To determine the cause of death... this is done occasionally at the request of the family member, but mostly autopsies are performed on murder victims. Also suicide victims... anything where foul play is suspected. Medical students also do autopsies sometimes to learn the art.
