Introduction

In March 2011, an online survey form was developed to collect information about the facilities in 

the United States in which official medicolegal autopsies are conducted for the nation’s medical 

examiner and coroner systems. The survey collected information about the names, locations, and 

types of facilities, as well as general information about the condition of the facilities. Email 

notification of the survey was sent multiple times to members of the National Association of 

Medical Examiners (NAME), members of the International Association of Coroners and Medical 

Examiner (IACME), and Diplomats and Certificants of the American Board of Medicolegal 

Investigators (ABMDI). 

What’s included in this report?

 Information from places routinely used by medical examiners and coroners for the purpose 

of conducting official medicolegal autopsies, whether they be funeral homes, dedicated freestanding facilities, hospital autopsy units, or units within crime labs, law enforcement 

agencies, or other settings located in the United States including Puerto Rico. 

 Military hospitals frequently used by personnel of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner 

System (AFMES) 

What’s not included in this report?

 Veteran’s hospitals which are occasionally used by the AFMES 

 Facilities in which only private, non-official forensic autopsies are performed 

 Facilities which exist but did not get reported by survey responders. 

 Facilities outside of the United States 

Results

324 facilities were identified as follows: 

Free standing 151 (48%) 

Hospital autopsy facility 105 (32%) 

Funeral home 15 ( 5%) 

Within a crime lab facility 12 ( 4%) 

Within law enforcement facility 8 ( 3%) 

Other setting 24 ( 7%) 

Not specified 9 

“Other setting” includes a variety of facilities such as re-modeled army barracks, renovated 

warehouse, basement of judicial building, within a medical facility but not a hospital autopsy area, 

and several other situations. See list for further details. 

272 (87%) of the facilities reported postmortem exam case load data (externals plus autopsies). The 

total number of annual exams reported was 224,349. That number suggests fairly complete data 

reporting of facilities as the number of exams approaches 10% of the approximately 2.5 million 

deaths in the United States annually, and it is commonly accepted that about 20% of deaths should 

2
come to the attention of a medical examiner/coroner and about half of those require postmortem 

examination. 

In terms of facility condition, the responses were as follows: 

More than adequate and needs no renovation or new or additional equipment 54 (17%) 

Adequate and needs no renovation or new or additional equipment 55 (17%) 

 109 (34%) 

Adequate but needs some renovation or new or additional equipment 124 (40%) 

Less than adequate and needs some renovation or new or additional equipment 24 ( 8%) 

 148 (48%) 

Inadequate and needs major overhaul and new or additional equipment 12 ( 4%) 

Totally inadequate and needs to be replaced with a new facility and equipment 11 ( 4%) 

 23 ( 8%) 

No response 44 

Thus, 148 facilities (48%) are in need of some renovation or equipment, while 23 (8% ) additional 

facilities report more serious needs. Overall, 171 (55%) have some sort of improvement need. 

In terms of planning for a new facility within the next 5 years: 

No current plans 204 (65%) 

Plans in progress 31 (10%) 

Possibly 35 (11%) 

No response 54 

On the following pages, the items below appear. 

 Dot map of locations of facilities in the US (Page 4) 

 List of facilities arranged alphabetically by state (Page 5) 

 Facilities which report a major need for renovation or equipment (Page 14) 

 Facilities which report some, but not major need for renovation or equipment (Page 17) 

 New facilities in planning or possible in the next 5 years (Page 22) 

 Reported annual postmortem examination load at each facility (Page 25) 

NOTE: This report is considered “final.” If information is subsequently provided on additional 

facilities, a separate addendum report will be prepared and the dot map from this report will be 

updated and carried into the addendum report, along with other relevant information for each newly 

reported facility.
