A Florida friend of mine said her mother-in-law and an elderly aunt were cremated in the last 2 years and no autopsy was done. I don't believe this ME had to do this but chose to, unless the law has recently changed.
Anyway Felos rushed to the cameras and said it was Michael's idea. I believe Felos was surprised with the news too and was trying to cover Michaels butt again.
Generally as a rule of thumb, if you have been under a doctors care for a terminal illness, an autopsy is not usually required. The main purpose of an autopsy is to find cause of death. Everybody in the world knows Terri's already. The motives are still a mystery to me, and another can of worms could be an insurance company may of requested it. I just don't know.
