It's so sad =[

Not sketchy at all, actually. Autopsies are nasty. I've seen one. I wouldn't want my loved one to undergo one, either, if it could be helped.

If my loved one was 32 when they died and they hadn't been sick, I damn sure would scream for an autopsy. Not only that, what made them them is no longer in that container.

I'd guess the cause of death is pretty clear to her loved ones. Unless there's overt suspicion of foul play, it's likely just going to confirm what they already suspect, which a.) removes Mom's plausible deniability and b.) sucks from a "cutting her up" standpoint.

Well yeah, maybe. But when they try to put the kibosh on the autopsy it just makes them (esp the husband) look super sketchy.

I was going through a bunch of old magazines last night and just randomly opening them, kept hitting articles on/quotes from Brittany Murphy. FREEEEEEEEAKY

I just meant I don't think it's sketchy for him to object to an autopsy at first, immediately after his wife died. The shock and emotional turmoil at that point makes it hard to think clearly. He has now said that he knows an autopsy must be done and that he does want to know what the cause of death was. But he had to have some time to see things that way.
