How can i get a copy of my late husbands autopsy report?

Question

we lived in gloucester when he died and am searching for the reason for his death, i have only been told it was a heart attack.

Answer 1

You can apply to local judge. He can mark your apllication to the hospital where autopsy of your husband was done and you can get the report.

Answer 2

Write a letter to the attention of the director of medical records at the hospital where he died, requesting the results of your husband's autopsy. Regular mail should suffice, but a certified letter gets their attention. If no response, have your attorney send a certified letter to the hospital administrator.

Unless there are special circumstances surrounding the death of your husband, you should have no difficulty.

Answer 3

contact the coroner or his former doctor. after death, HIPPAA no longer applies and the cause should be a matter of public record.
