Man, you're lucky. Chatham county runs out of money allocated for post mortems by April. After that you only get PMs on people who die outside the hospital in a manner that may be criminal. The hospital won't pay either.

This case re-emphasizes the importance of post-mortem examination following every death from injury. Even the most aggressive and comprehensive pre-mortem CT or MRI imaging can substitute for the old fashion autopsy. We can speculate until our next birthdays, there is no answer without a post-mortem. In San Diego, we don't present our deaths to our system wide Medical Audit Committee until the post-mortem results are ready and a member of the County Medical Examiner's physician staff joins us for the discussion.
