I have tried to call this office three or more times, trying to get someone to respond to me. Jo Ann refuses to call me back. Most likely because they have overcharged me $45.00 and refuses to talk to me about it. Barbara Romey

Just call the Medical Examiner's Office and anyone that answers the phone can assist you. Give them the first and last name of the person and the date of death. Indicate the type of death as well if known. If it was a natural death, the person may not have been a coroner's case so we may not have any information. If the death was an accident, homicide or suicide then the Medical Examiner's Office would have invoked jurisdiction and we should have information regarding the death. It just may take a few days to research and get back to you with the information.

When a person dies at a UCSD hospital and the family request an autopsy, where is the body taken and how long before the report of autopsy is available? How do I get a copy of the report and is it a complete or abbreviated?
