I really dont what to ask. My wifes son and family went to Cozumel, and this morning took a certification course. agency unknown, resort unknown, my me - right now. My grandson and step-son / with an instructor, were at 15 feet of water (open - or confined, unknown) when my grandson appeared to be having mask problems and went to the surface. He was followed immediatedly, and found unresponsive and unconsious on the surface. CPR was administered, and a nearby Doctor involved.
Cause of death, asphyxiation.
My son-in-law is requesting an autopsy, but would prefer it to be in the U.S. - We have found that he can not repatriate the body, until it has be enbalmed.
Here is where we need help. Can we trust the Mexico Medical Examiner to give us a forensic report that can be used? And/or can a 2nd autopsy be done in the U.S. after embalming?
I will include more information as I get it. But these questions need to be handled quickly. (nothing seems to be open on Sunday)
Please reply
