My aunt was a young, healthy adult admitted to the hospital for a routine procedure, six weeks later she had passed. there was a lot of descrepancy regarding her care and also the events leading to her death. in one example; she was infected with a rare disease which spread through her entire body. the origin of infection was found to be her spine, shortly following a spinal tap performed by the hospital against my family's instruction. no autopsy was performed, at the time my grandmother was upset and did not request one. her body was cremated and i was wondering if there was any possiblity of investigating this further, despite this obstacle.

The county coroner said that it can be determined but only by medical records and specimens taken during life.
