An autopsy is always performed on a body that is removed from a crime scene. Before this can be done, the body has to be taken to the morgue and logged in. In their book, Postmortem, Dr Steven A Koehler and Dr Cyril H Wecht describe the process of admitting a body to a morgue.

What Happens When a Body Arrives at the Morgue

A body is normally transported from a crime scene by the coroner’s van. At the morgue, it will be weighed and photographed and information will be recorded in the log-in book. Details required include the name, age, race and sex of the victim and the time the body was brought in.
