I hear what you are saying.
Is it not a strange request? Why on earth would the family not want an autopsy? I know the man had health issues, but seriously if he was that close to “death”, why oh why was out on a ranch hooping and hollering?
Something feels not right...
Why wouldn't they? Look around you. Why would any family want the body of their loved one be the centerpiece of all the conspiracy nuts that are running with this? Regardless of what an autopsy showed the tin-foil brigade would still not believe it and would find even deeper conspiracies. Better not to play at all.
