[Histonet] RE: Body Release and Cleanin in Morgue

[Tom McNemar]

We stopped doing autopsies years ago.  Since then, we have transferred ownership of the morgue to Nursing Services and have nothing to do with it.  Before all that it was the deiner who was responsible for releasing the bodies and saw that it was cleaned by environmental services after each autopsy.
