[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A costar mentioned her “struggles” in a public statement after her death, which seemed to be a thinly veiled reference to substance abuse.[/quote]

Yes several have said they wish they could have helped. [b]And her parents declined autopsy.[/b] Signs indicate a sad situation not 100% medically related.  [/quote]

Michelle was jewish and autopsy's are not allowed for Jewish people.  [/quote]

What happens when law enforcement or whoever investigates deaths need to determine if there's anything suspicious and need to confirm cause of death?

It’s usually a state law issue — I’m surprised NY is allowing this.  My friends mom died recently in another state and they mandated an autopsy despite her being old with dementia because the cause of death was unknown and the law requires it to rule out foul play.  My mom had the same with her sister that died in her 30s with a medical condition—the state mandated an autopsy due to her age and because she wasn’t in a hospital or similar when she died.

Don’t if this is relevant but my family did the opposite for our elderly father with a rarer form of dementia - we pre arranged an autopsy through a research university. Otherwise, his death in skilled nursing at age 85 would not have required an autopsy.

By the way, nothing significant was found genetically but the results and entire procedure benefited the university researchers, as gruesome as that may sound.

That doesn't sound gruesome at all. It sounds beneficial all around. Bravo to your whole family for making this decision for science. [/quote]
