Autopsies are not conducted in every death, it is not possible due to limited forensic pathologists and funding, nor is it necessary. However, in all motor vehicle crashes an autopsy should be done. Why? Because it cannot be assumed that the person died due to the crash, but their death may have caused the crash. This story from Colorado demonstrates why. These are tragic events, something we do our best to help families work through. This was tragic - a small community and community leader killed, along with five children while driving them to school. Today the autopsy report has been released and indicates the driver had 80% heart blockage - a deadly medical condition (cholesterol). It was undetermined if this was directly contributory, but considering the other circumstances (i.e. did not slow down and impacted a semi-trailer at full speed) strongly support this possibility.
