Q :
If a person dies having been diagnosed with MS, what data is collected and by who?
A :
That all depends on whether the body of the person with MS is subject to a medical examination after death (an autopsy). The decision to request an autopsy usually comes from the next of kin, although in rare circumstances the coroner can order one. Religious practice, custom, and the deceased person's wishes in this regard are all important factors in what happens. Most of the time, an autopsy is not performed.
