If the autopsy was performed by a hospital, only the hospital has the records. If the death certificate indicates an autopsy was performed AND it bears the signature of the medical examiner then you should be able to find a report issued by the OCME. No medical examiner signature, then it was performed by the hospital. OCME reports for the years 1918 - 1946 are available by mail from the NY Municipal Archives. http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/html/collections/collections_coroner.shtml -- Maria
