Lol. I'm not sure what the Bahamian equivalent is...... but HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Acountability Act) does not allow the hospital to publicly disclose the facts surrounding an autopsy report. Not unless given permission by the family.

However, you still have made a valid point. Where are the follow-up briefings to all of these investigations??? They all end with "police are investigating." And that's the last we ever hear of it!
