The Office of State Medical Examiners in Providence, RI, overseen by Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Christina Stanley, conducts autopsies as necessary in cases of sudden, unexpected, or violent deaths to determine the cause of death through detailed examination of major organs and complex laboratory tests.
Operating under state law, the office provides autopsy reports to next of kin upon request, with the cost of the procedure covered by tax dollars. The thorough process ensures accurate documentation of the cause of death, with final reports issued only after all necessary tests have been completed.
