Good Morning Island Camper - I thought I would respond to your question about the reason for autopsy. The law (in California) requires that an unattended death be investigated to determine the cause. Unattended means that the decedent was not under the immediate care of a physician, and death was not expected. The cause of that car crash might have many possibilities, as well as the death itself. The car crash may have been mechanical, ie. stuck accelerator, faulty brakes etc. The cause of death may or not be related to the crash. The driver could have had a heart attack and died before the collision, the driver may have accidently or purposfully overdosed on medication and died prior to the crash. The driver could possibly have gone into a diabetic seizure and died from injuries related to the crash or from the seizure. As you can see, many unanswered questions arise from unattended deaths, and autopsy often explains the not so obvious.
