[Histonet] Question for my Canadian colleagues

[Marshall Terry Dr, Consultant Histopathologist]

No. The large number of autopsies is due to the fact that we also act as
a public mortuary for the town, and do autopsies for the Coroner. 
This scenario is commonplace in England. 
With rare exceptions, all autopsies are for the coroner. England-wide,
the "hospital autopsy" is dead (as it were).

Terry,

The number of autopsies seems high, do all deceased get an autopsy?
