No autopsies are not performed on each person who dies this would be impossiable. An autopsy is usually performed when the events leading to death are unclear, such as murders or foul play is suspected. Autopsies are also done on people to determine things such as how the cancer affected the body (or any other disease that more research would help to improve medical care.) Families can also request an autopsy to be done but then they would have to pay all costs involved which can be very expensive. IT IS A STATE LAW THAT THEY BE PERFORMED ON EACH PERSON THAT DIES OR UPON THE DEATH OF ANYONE.
A clinical autopsy is done to determine the cause of death when other post death measures have failed and there is no reason to suspect foul play. It can also be done to determine if the diagnosis and treatement were appropriate or to better understand a disease process and thus advance medical science. A forensic autopsy is done to determine the cause of death when foul play may have occurred and if so to help law enforcement in solving the crime and helping the prosecution at trial.
The autopsy report always includes a determination of the cause and manner of death. The report also may include the results of any independent testing that was done.
Yes but it doesn't take an autopsy to get a sample. A few hairs, saliva, semen etc. is enough and person can be alive. Paternity tests are done routinely this way.
