A sixty-year old man is found dead at home by his wife who calls 911. Ambulance arrives, coroner pronounces man dead at scene but there is no visibly obvious cause of death (e.g. no physical trauma).
(I'm going off guesses/assumptions so correct me if I'm wrong anywhere).
1. Would the police then be called by the medics, and if so, do they take a statement from the wife there or does she have to "go downtown" (which I currently have her doing)?
Also, my main question: when is a preliminary autopsy report ready? A suicide/foul play is suspected since it does not appear to merely be a heart attack or stroke or something, and a toxicology report is planned but I think that would take a month or so to come back.
In the meantime, is the preliminary autopsy report only given to the police or will the wife be informed as well and if so, how (ie, does she have to go down or is over the phone ok)?
I hope this made sense- it's 2am and I'm 98% asleep...
