The original autopsy report will not be given to the victim's family, nor can it be given to the victim's family, because the autopsy report is a legal document for the public security organ to handle the case, so it will not be given to the victim's family. If the victim's family can know the report result from the public security organ, they can apply to the court for evidence in the lawsuit.
Is it necessary to notify family members to the scene when dissecting a corpse?
It is necessary to inform family members to the scene when dissecting a corpse. If the family members cannot arrive at the scene, they can entrust a lawyer to participate in the autopsy. For the autopsy report, it is not only a report to find out the cause of death of the deceased, but also an important material to solve criminal cases. In order to meet the needs of criminal investigation, generally speaking, the results of autopsy report can not be handed over to the relatives of the victim without excluding homicide, which will hinder criminal judicial investigation and disrupt police investigation activities. Autopsy is an inquest procedure in investigation and a technical inquest method to determine the nature of the case and the cause of death. The autopsy report is one of the evidences that the reconnaissance organ (case-handling organ) must collect, and it is not stipulated that it must be handed over to the family members or relatives of the inquirer. Generally speaking, family members will be informed of the results of the investigation and inspection. When necessary, family members may apply to the case-handling organ for inspection, or be allowed to make copies. Therefore, it is generally not directly given to the victim's family.
Legal basis: Article 2 14 of the Procedures for Handling Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs stipulates that the family members should be notified to take back the bodies whose causes of death have been identified and have not been preserved. If it is impossible to notify or the family refuses to take it back after notification, it can be handled in time with the approval of the person in charge of the public security organ at or above the county level.
