A member asked:
When does a doctor generally request an autopsy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
When the circumstances of the death are unclear, happen outside a medical facility or are suspicious. Those are generally the circumstances. Sometime the family want to know too.

For diagnostic purposes most of the time, sometimes a request is made by law enforcement in suspicious cases.
