I am so sorry for your loss (and for everyone else in this thread who has also experienced such a loss). I don't think, unfortunately, the amount of time is unusual. You may want to consider having someone you trust who isn't emotionally involved read the report for you and summarize it for you -- I don't know what they turn over to families, but it would have been very hard for me to read the reports I received as a PD if they had related to loved ones.

I'm so very sorry for your sudden and life-changing loss. (((( hugs ))))
You mentioned that you aren't really sure you want to know the results.... can you maybe choose not to look at them when they do arrive?

Thank you. I love this idea so much. I'm going to reach out to my friend, who is also our attorney, to see if he would look at it first. That way no family member will be in a vulnerable position reading it.

My girlfriend's husband's autopsy took 4 months. His was a sudden death. It was very hard on her to wait for this.

I am very sorry you are going through all of this.
If you just want to know cause of death, the death certificate should say that once the results of the autopsy are in. If someone wants to know more, I think the idea of having the attorney read and summarize it might be a good plan.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Use to work at a pd, the wait is most likely toxicology results which can take min. eight weeks being sent to a lab, etc… waiting is hard.

I am so sorry for your loss and sending you comforting thoughts and nothing but hugs. I hope you can get your answers soon to provide at least some small help in closure with the cause.
As others have said we decided not to have an autopsy done as my loved one passed away in the hospital less than 24 hours after she was admitted for some issues due to a preexisting condition and they also found that she had some other issues, but we really do not know the actual cause. The death certificate did list the cause as complications due to the preexisting condition. Unfortunately today would have been her 67th birthday, so just trying to get through the day .

I'm sorry for your loss and for your waiting.

I'm sorry for your loss and for your waiting. I cannot imagine reading the autopsy report of a loved one- probably why they dont give it to you unless you ask. I debated asking for FILs, but decided that would be a bad idea.

I am so sorry for your loss. My brother in law passed suddenly and the coroner’s report took almost one year.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your DH. I lost mine 18 months ago. I can't imagine not knowing what happened. It has to be awful to wait. I think you are so wise to have someone read the results and summarize them for you. Hugs to you, giatocj.

When my ex died just 11 days after the final divorce decree an autopsy was done. It only took about a month to get the results. But that was partly due to our local coroner not being very busy.
Our county has changed a lot in the last 12 years, so I’m sure it would take a lot longer if it were to happen now.
