[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone who dies in MD will have an autopsy done unless a doctor signs an order saying they expected the death.[/quote] Autopsies are only done by the state if the death is mysterious or suspicious. If a 75 year old man dies in his sleep, they are going to scribble "cardiac arrest" on the death certificate and never look back. The family is welcome to pay for a private autopsy if they don't agree, but otherwise it's a done deal. In this case, what would be the end game of making a fuss over the cause of death? FWIW, many death certificates are wildly inaccurate and frequently a best guess. It's a last gift to the family to not have something controversial (such as suicide) on the death certificate. Let this one lay while the family mourns. It is what it is.[/quote] you’re completely wrong. Maryland law is that if a doctor is not going to sign a document saying, he knows exactly how you died then you have an autopsy. [/quote]
