Can autopsy be done simultaneously when recovering organs from donor body?

It can be bit a controversial topic. Usually organ is recovered from from a patient in a brain death situation, meaning body might be still functional but patients brain has no activity and officially declared dead and can be removed from life support with the permission of family members.


But in case of questionable circumstances leading to patient death it is proffered that autopsy should be done. It is feared that in case of early organ recovery might tamper with evidence on body. So in case of Homicide and suicides it requires permission from ME , law enforcement also family to recover organ.

India faces a huge short fall for dona-table organ. It is encouraged to list yourself for organ donation in case of any situation. It might save somebody's life. Apollo Hyderabad has a huge success record for organ recovery and safe transplant to patients.
