Story Behind the Curve
A report of examination is a legal, medical document that describes the pathologic findings of a post-mortem examination in detail.
A report of examination is normally requested by families, law enforcement, and insurance companies. It also may be requested by other agencies, like the Federal Aviation Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, in specific situations.
We strive to provide copies of the report of examination as quickly as possible when they're requested. Staff turnover in the front office can affect how quickly we respond to requests for these reports.
