What do you think about this?

I have a cousin who lives in New York, she was in the hospital suffering with cancer, she has a son. Unfortunately she expired. She has a sister who live in North Carolina, and she called the hospital to see how her sister was doing, and was told that her sister had died. The hospital did not call any family members to let them know of her demise. Her son told the hospital that he wanted his mother's body released to the funeral home, and the hospital said that they were not releasing the body until they do an autopsy. I thought that a death from illness in a hospital did not warrant an autopsy unless the family consents to it. She had cancer, not a communicable disease. I do not know why the hospital refuse to release the body. Mylotter's what do you think is going on here?
