If the autopsy determines no accidental, self-inflicted, or felonious death then the results would remain private under the provisions of HIPPA, and released only to the next of kin. If the death were ruled suspicious or felonious, the results would become potential evidence of a crime and would not be released. The cause of death is very rarely released by the Medical Examiner's or Coronor's Office. There are no legal restrictions on the release of the cause of the death by family members, however.

The findings of an autopsy are typically confidential medical information protected by privacy laws. Sharing these findings may require consent from the deceased person's next of kin or legal representative. Additionally, healthcare professionals and organizations are bound by ethical codes and professional standards that dictate how autopsy findings are communicated and shared.

Virtual autopsy, aka post-mortem-imaging is performed around the world to reduce the need for a standard autopsy, but also to add precision in the reporting and preparing the standard autopsy.

What can be done when a developer represents a list of deed restrictions and sells all the lots and then you find he neglected to file the deed restrictions with the county?

The developer may be out of luck if it failed to record the restrictions. On the other hand, if you were presented with an unrecorded copy, that may have put you on notice that the restrictions exist. If any of the deed restrictions were ordered by a local conservation commission you may still be subject to them even if the developer failed to record them.You should check with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area.
