To all who read this case. This was an attempted Rip Off by someone at the hospital. Dr Sarita will discuss this Saturday on TV. I do not know what time.Jalencastro is correct about autopsy fee being 000$ by law.

from yesterday's HOY

El subsecretario de Salud P?blica y director nacional de Patolog?a Forense, Sergio Sarita Valdez, pidi? ayer a la Procuradur?a General de la Rep?blica que proh?ba en forma categ?rica el cobro por la realizaci?n de autopsias, ya que la mayor?a de las v?ctimas de violencia en el pa?s son muy pobres.

El doctor Sarita Valdez consider? un hecho bochornoso y vergonzoso el ocurrido en La Vega, donde un cad?ver fue sacado a la fuerza de la morgue el hospital Luis Morillo King por sus familiares, para evadir el pago que se les exig?a....

...Sarita Valdez deplor? la pr?ctica de cobrar por hacer autopsias, cuando se trata un mandato de ley.

Berzin basically had already posted the some thing similar in English yesterday....

Read the sentence in bold. The article quoted is from DR1-once you begin paying the mafiosos it will never end. So the family has my vote in terms of them doing the right thing.

"Free autopsies?
Health Deputy Minister and National Forensics Pathology director Sergio Sarita Valdez is asking the Attorney General's office to prohibit coroners to charge for autopsies, considering the families of the deceased rarely have the money to pay for the service. Sarita's comments are in response to a curious happening in La Vega over the weekend. Reports are that the family of a deceased man ran into the coroner's office, took the body and drove away on a motochoncho. The victim was 31-year old Francisco Manuel Brito Cornielle, who was shot and killed by police in a reported gunfight. The family said it did not have the money to pay for the autopsy. The authorities have yet to identify the motoconcho driver or the woman who held the body during the escape. A video of the scene has become an Internet and Latin American TV sensation. The Minister added that some families are so poor they can't afford the caskets to bury their loved ones.Sarita added that there is always a mafia of police, nurses and even doctors trying a to make a buck."
