Travis County Morgue Overflow

Austin-American Statesman: Is it time for a new morgue?

Death is a growth industry for Travis County, so now it's time to decide whether to build a bigger morgue or tell outlying counties to take their autopsy business elsewhere.

The medical examiner's office is already performing too many autopsies under standards established by the National Association of Medical Examiners, with about half of the workload coming from other counties. Population growth will only exacerbate the problem, a consultant told county commissioners Thursday.
