Does that mean you think all accident investigations are merely "bureaucratic paperwork" reports? An autopsy of a pilot reported by his family to have been "having a medical incident", is absolutely needed. There are lessons to be learned here. Do not allow this pilot to have died in vain.

Nah.
The family’s religious beliefs regarding further desecration of a corpse and rapid burial trumps an Internet forum’s need for closure, especially when the feds are willing to comply.
If this is what his family desires, let them have their peace without causing them more grief and pain. The online speculation won’t stop anyway, with or without an autopsy result.
Mxxx Hxxx Bxxx, age 68, is a much-beloved husband, father, son, brother, friend, and physician caring for many patients over his long career exclusively in the greater Sandusky area. His life was tragically cut short on August 20 while flying his plane, which he loved to do.
Mxxx was the first child and soon-to-be big brother, born in Camden, NJ and living briefly in California before arriving in Dayton to become a lifelong Buckeye. He attended Cornell Heights grade school and briefly Fairview High School, then Meadowdale High School. Pre-med followed at Miami (of Ohio) University, and medical school at The Ohio State University. He interned at Yale New Haven Hospital, then returned to OSU for residency in internal medicine, and fellowship in gastroenterology. After completing his medical education he moved to Sandusky to join a practice in gastroenterology, and never left.
He was an avid fitness buff, running almost every morning before doing procedures and seeing patients. He also loved being on the water in Sandusky Bay and the pond, for water skiing (barefoot and otherwise), windsurfing, kite-boarding, swimming, cycling, and anything that would get him moving in the wind and water.
Wintertime brought many years of alpine skiing, then he never looked back after being converted to a fulltime snowboarder by his little brother.
Mxxx was also a true foodie and gourmet cook, and could always be found puttering around in the kitchen with exotic entrees, his famous Caesar salad, and delicious desserts. He loved to travel and trying new restaurants, but most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
He is survived by his wife Xxx, daughters Xxx and Xxx, son Xxxx, mother Xxxx, brother Xxxx, and sisters Xxxx and Cxxx. And also by Parker, his faithful furry companion, who was always curled up in his office.
