A person can request that an autopsy be performed in the state of California. There is a deposit must be paid beforehand to cover any costs that may be required.
You ask an autopsier to do an autopsy
No, California law does not require an autopsy for a known suicide. If the death is suspicious or reasons for death are unknown, an autopsy is required.
An autopsy can be requested by various parties, including the deceased's family members, legal representatives, or healthcare providers. Additionally, law enforcement agencies may request an autopsy in cases of suspicious or unexplained deaths. In some jurisdictions, a medical examiner or coroner may also initiate an autopsy if they believe it is necessary to determine the cause of death. Ultimately, the specific regulations can vary by location.
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.
The family or the next kiln of the person. Investegators or police
Not usually. However, if there is any suspicion surrounding the death, the policy may not be paid before completion of an autopsy. The life insurance policy should state whether or not the company can request an autopsy.
An autopsy couldn't be held in "The Westing Game" because Sam Westing specifically requested that no autopsy be performed on his body. This request was included in his will and legally had to be followed.
its not technically required. however if the DA feels something could have happened i.e. murder, suicide, etc. they could request for one or the family could request one. it really just depends on the circumstances in which the individual passed away and several other factors. Some can include but aren't limited to, age, ethnic background, medical records, etc.
the family pays for the autopsy
Nobody knows exactly when the autopsy was performed, but I can tell you something about it: the 'supposedly' "autopsy picture" that was released on the book 'Tupac - Resurrection', is fake, it's photoshopped from a scene of Tupac's and Dr. Dre's video "California Love (Remix)"
a standard autopsy is between $2000 and $6000 a virtual autopsy is about $1000
Yes, you may request a necropsy on your cat from your veterinarian. However, you will need to request the necropsy very shortly after the death of your cat because certain tissues that may be very informative during the necropsy break down quickly.
