Yes, the state of Massachusetts can perform an autopsy against family wishes under certain circumstances. If a death is deemed suspicious, sudden, or unexplained, the medical examiner has the authority to order an autopsy to determine the cause of death. This is done to serve public interest, ensure justice, and uphold public health and safety. Family objections may be considered, but they do not override the state's obligation to investigate certain types of deaths.
