Low Lawton autopsy rate sparks AMA recommended rise
Dr Henry Turkel of the Journal of the American Medical Association says coroner autopsies should range from 20 to 25 per 100 deaths. In Lawton only about four autopsies are done yearly. County attorney Redman cites cost and lack of a local pathologist as key limits while a new pathologist is expected in Lawton by October 1 easing process and expenses. Autopsies occur mainly in cases with possible criminal liability or where death follows no medical attention, with inquests by justices of the peace common in smaller cities. The legislature briefly considered mandatory autopsies but no action was taken.
