Too bad...I wish there was some way to demand an autopsy upon death, regardless of her "guardian's" wishes.

A couple of nights ago, someone posted the Florida State Code which controls this issue, and unless it was a total fraud (I didn't check the source link), an autopsy is absolutely mandatory in this kind of situation.

It doesn't matter what Michael thinks, and again, we're ascribing motives to him that may or may not be there or even relevant.

If he wanted to avoid an autopsy, asking for a cremation would not accomplish that.

All I can say is that I hope you're right about the autopsy requirement and that we never find out whether you really are.

I fear that Mikey would do a cremation over the weekend before the autopsy enforcers step in. He would have to be warned in advance not to do it, IMHO.

Why? People here, in nursing homes and hospitals are sent to funeral homes when they die. Autopsies aren't routinely done. In nursing homes an RN pronounces.
