Autopsy Technicians

The autopsy technicians at the KCRFC assist the medical examiners by preparing decedents for examination and autopsy. Preparations include radiology, photography, the collection of toxicological specimens, and documentation and collection of evidence. Autopsies are performed by the technicians alongside the medical examiners. Technicians assist with the identification process of unidentified decedents by submitting radiographs, fingerprints, and DNA for analysis. They work with funeral homes, crematories, and donation centers to coordinate the release of decedents according to families’ wishes. Technicians work to ensure that the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME) standards are met in the autopsy suite for the purpose of yearly accreditation. Their services are crucial to the multiple counties the KCRFC serves.
