Autopsy reports may not be public if the autopsy is performed as part of a law enforcement investigation. No statute directly addresses access to coroner's reports. Some counties have taken the position that such reports are not public under the medical records exception and investigation exception.
How to I Receive an Autopsy Report? If an autopsy is completed by a medical examiner, the next of kin must make a written request with the medical examiner's office to receive a copy of the report. Depending on the coroner's office, these reports may take weeks or months to receive.
If the Medical Examiner does not require an autopsy for official purposes, the legal next-of-kin may request that an autopsy be performed at their expense per California Government Code Section 27520.
