How soon after an autopsy is the report ready?
Verbal preliminary findings are given to the authorizing family member or individual within 24 to 48 hours following completion of the autopsy. A full written report is usually completed and mailed in 4 to 6 weeks. If there are special procedures requested such as toxicology, neuropathology etc; the written report may take up to 12 weeks. GPMG personnel will go over the report with the requesting party and answer any questions.
