Autopsy

An autopsy can answer questions about what caused your loved one's death. It can help doctors learn how to help other people. It may be hard for you to think about an autopsy at this painful time. An autopsy may give you information that can help you through your grief.

You may want to talk with a doctor or nurse about an autopsy after your loved one has died.
