State law requires that the Medical Examiner complete a report of each inquiry into the circumstances of death whether through external examination or autopsy.

The body of a deceased must be held at the Medical Examiner's Center (located on Pryor Street just south of downtown Atlanta) long enough to complete an examination or autopsy and take physical evidence. The body can then be released to the funeral home chosen by the family even if the cause and manner of death have not yet been determined. The goal of the Medical Examiner is to release 90 percent of bodies within 48 hours from the time they are received.
