We had a suspicious surprise death in the family 2w ago that the German hospital did not test (early outbreak + sudden death) nor autopsy and we suspect real chance COVID was a secondary factor that merited at least a check. Internal medicine md phd in our family, so no joke. Ok they didn't test, but we were surprised they did not autospy. Sad way to confirm SOP.

For others: In the US, you can ~always request an autopsy.
