Permission is coordinated through the clinical staff on the floor where the death originates. When permission is obtained, admitting will be notified. The admitting department will notify the pathology when the body and all appropriate records are available. Please call the pathology department with any questions.
At the request of a Crouse Physician, autopsies may be performed on patients who die at home provided they do not fall under the purview of the Medical Examiner and they have been an inpatient at Crouse within the previous year.
