Exactly..sounds like this guy has something to hide..doing coke together, meth, God knows what, but whatever it is, he knows its gonna show up in autopsy

Why? When my Dad died- the paramedics royally screwed up. They administered the wrong treatment-- the correct treatment would have saved his life. An autopsy would have proved the guilt of the paramedics.

So we had a family conference. Our Dad / Uncle / Spouse / Brother just died.
Would an autopsy bring him back? No.
Is this the time for anger? No.
Is this the time for an extended investigation? No.
Did we suspect foul play? No.
Are we being wimps - or ignorant of our rights? Hardy - plenty of lawyers in the family.

No decision will return the loved one. We decided to let Dad go and to let him go with love.

Actually I believe that observant Jews do not approve of autopsies. The body is to be buried swiftly, in a day I believe. So this might be a religious preference.
