I'm not ashamed to say it, I don't really know anything about autopsies. Thank God.

Craig Harvey was asked who else was present "besides the M.E.", and said a police detective. However, "M.E." does not only mean the coroner, does it? How many people are present, does anybody know?

Usually 2 people, the forensic pathologist and 1 assistent.

The assistant in this case would be Ed Winter? So him, the coroner, plus one police detective?

@Bee Bee- Are you asking because you want to figure out if it is customary for a relative of the deceased to be present at the autopsy?  I'm asking because the other day it was mentioned on a thread that LaToya said she was present at Michael's autopsy.

Oh, no, actually, I was just wondering how many people are involved.  :)  But if LaToya really said that, she's mad. She would've never been allowed to be there.
