Generally, it is up to the coroner to determine if an autopsy is mandatory on out of hospital deaths by writing down on a little piece of paper his guess/opinion on the cause of death. If the coroner feels like an autopsy is indicated, it shall be done. Hubby, mom, lawyers, police have nothing to say about it.
