Application Letter for the Issue of Post Mortem Report (Sample)

A post-mortem examination, commonly referred to as an autopsy, is conducted to examine a deceased body. The primary objective of this examination is to ascertain the cause of death.

The police or hospital authorities can provide a copy of the post-mortem report, unless it is deemed confidential. In certain states, efforts are being made to make these reports available online as well. The court can also provide a copy of the report once it has been submitted to the court.

Here is an example of an application form for getting a copy of the post-mortem examination report.
