Autopsy Reports: Thompson, Robinson, Banks.

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Louisiana Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

Autopsy reports for the following individuals, who died in St. Bernard Parish.

Dorothy Lou Thompson, date of death: May 2, 1985 (homicide)
Donald Eugene Robinson, date of death: July 28, 1978 (homicide or suicide)
Logan Banks Jr., date of death: November 26, 1970 (homicide)

La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13:5713 specifically identifies autopsy reports as public records, and further provides that "[t]he public records fee for . . . an autopsy report shall be the same as that charged by the registrar of vital records for the state for a death certificate." See also Everett v. Southern Transplant Service Inc., 709 So.2d 764 (La. 1998)

If you do not possess the required information, I'd be grateful if you'd point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance in this matter,

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Mikita Brottman
