On January 1, 2010, the Yeshiva World reported the following.
A 9-year-old girl found her mother R”L dead in their upper West Side apartment on Thursday morning. According to a report in the NY Daily News, she apparently died when she fell in the bathtub and struck her head.
...Although the Daily News reported that an autopsy will be taking place later Friday, YWN has learned that after tireless work by the Misaskim organization, an autopsy will B”H not take place.
One of the comments posted asked, "Is this necessarily a good thing? Perhaps a respectfully performed limited autopsy under rabbinic guidance would reveal foul play or an underlying illness that predisposes her daughter to the same fate and can now not be screened for or even prevented.

...Police at the time said Shele's death appeared to be accidental, and that a cut on the back of her head was "consistent with a fall."
She was buried almost immediately, and an autopsy was not performed because she and her family are Orthodox Jews.
