Autopsy Report Request

Autopsy reports are public record under the Colorado Public Records Act, § 30-10-601. There are no charges to request a copy.

If you would like us to send you a report, we require a written or electronic request. This must include your name, relationship to the deceased, name of the deceased, their date of death, your email, and/or your mailing address. If you want a faxed copy, please include a fax number.

Autopsy reports may not be finalized for 8 to 12 weeks after the initial exam, depending on the nature of the case and any additional testing that needs to be performed. Our office will obtain written approval from the District Attorney’s Office before releasing reports on homicides. If the report cannot be released for any reason, we will contact you. Requests can be mailed to the Coroner’s Office, faxed to us at 719-390-2462, submitted via the form below, or emailed to heathertremblay@elpasoco.com.

If the report is already complete, your request will be processed within 7 business days. If you request the autopsy results for a recent death, please allow 8 to 12 weeks turnaround time for the report to be finalized and sent to you.
