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.

Where does the idea of her body's not being autopsied come from? Where did this information come from, and why?

This is so likely, and George W. Greer has already endorsed this course of action. Even if she died on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, the autopsy people may arrive to late to do their "job."

Why do people, such as Crist, say there is "no evidence" of fraud and wrongdoing in this case? When does a "smoking gun" not at least trigger an investigation?

Florida law doesn't allow a body to be cremated without an investigation, probably including an autopsy.
