I had thought that, like other suicides, assisted suicide in Oregon is
generally followed by autopsy.  A little searching turned up cryomsg
11428, which quotes an Oregon medical examiner saying that if, hypothetically,
the person who committed suicide hadn't been cremated, he wouldn't
have been autopsied.  Is there hope of something useful to cryonics here?
