instituto médico legal city morgue

Explanation:
For those of you who live in the USA or UK, if a person dies out of a hospital, where is the person taken to? For example, in a road accident? I thought it would be straight to the city morgue (USA) and once there, a pathologist would determine the cause of death.

The purpose of an autopsy is to observe and make a permanent legal record as soon as possible of the gross and minute anatomical peculiarities of a recently discovered dead body. Autopsies are typically done at a local hospital or at the county morgue, although some are done in private offices or in funeral parlors.
