How Can I Obtain an Autopsy or Examination Report?
Autopsy and examination reports, when completed, are public records as listed in the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) and Washoe County Code (WCC).
Please complete the form below to request a copy of a report. Records, when available, will be transmitted via secure e-mail. Please note that examination reports generally take between 10 and 12 weeks to complete. Reports will not be released if they are pending further investigation or are part of an ongoing legal proceeding.
