Our Services

Can I get more information about your investigation? 

You can order a copy of the report of examination. A report of examination has detailed information from the deceased person’s postmortem exam and death investigation. Most of this information isn’t found on the death certificate.

We only give copies of this report to the deceased person’s immediate family members, police officers, attorneys, and health care providers. 

How do I get a copy of the report of examination? 

Mail a copy of a completed records request form by the next-of-kin to the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner. 

Our mailing address is:

Utah Office of the Medical Examiner
4451 South 2700 West
Taylorsville, UT 84129

We’ll send a copy of the report to you within 3 business days of receiving your request. If the report isn’t finished when we get your request, we’ll send you a copy of the report when it’s ready.

Can you consult or provide testimony for a court case? 

If the death falls under our jurisdiction, we can provide consultation or testimony for court cases to both the prosecution and the defense. Call our office at 801-816-3850 and ask to schedule a pre-trial conference. 

We charge $500 per hour to consult and provide expert testimony for civil cases and cases that aren’t in our jurisdiction.

What if the death certificate is incorrect? 

Call us at 801-816-3850 if you find incorrect or missing information on the death certificate. We will correct the information as quickly as we can.
