That doesn't even make sense to me. Wouldn't both families benefit from whatever information an autopsy could provide regarding Mr. Findley??? As it is right now, society just assumes Mr. Findley did something "wrong" that caused this tragedy. What if an autopsy concluded that he suffered some sort of medical crisis preceding the crash??
