  4. Fiona, what a great resource. Other than working inside the courthouse, myself, I haven't seen a single site giving such comprehensive forensic insight for writers. I'll share this with peers.

  5. Do you have a post about WHEN an autopsy is usually required? If the investigators assume suicide, such as in the case of someone who has hung themselves, would an autopsy be done?

    1. An autopsy is done whenever there is an accidental or unexpected death. So if Aunt Sue had cancer and died at the expected time, no autopsy. If there were a car accident or a sudden unexpected death, autopsy. If the person is in the hospital or there is a doctor who will sign off on the death certificate, no autopsy. So it depends on where/how/why there was a death. Does that help in your plotline?

      Best wishes,
      Fiona
