Typically, autopsies are NOT videotaped. It would violate the privacy and dignity of the deceased person. However, the coroner often uses an overhead microphone to record findings as he or she works on the body. This audio recording is used to make a paper transcript later, which serves as reminders when the coroner writes the official record. The recording would be regarded as a confidential work record, not available to the public or for any other use. I believe most coroners reuse the "tape" after the written record is made; I doubt the tape version is kept very long.
