Yes, however, for the best outcome, an autopsy should be performed on an unembalmed body after proper refrigeration. If there is a long delay (beyond one week) between the time of death and the autopsy, embalming is recommended to preserve the body tissues. Embalming interferes with most of the toxicology studies.
How long does it take for an embalmed human body to decompose? Yes, I know this is a mobid and distasteful question! I've always had a fascination with the whole funeral business (hence, I greatly enjoyed HBO's Six Feet Under). I only ask this question because my dear mother died three years ago this month. Her body was embalmed and was prepared for two days' of viewing before burial. I am wondering how long it will be before her body begins to decay. For that matter, her father has been dead for 33 years and her mother for 14.
