Jerusalem, Israel – Dozens of haredim set garbage bins on fire in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood today in protest of police plans to carry out an autopsy on the body of a city resident.

There were no injuries reported in the lunchtime incident in the neighborhood's Sabbath Square but traffic was blocked in the area.
The protest stemmed from police plans to carry out an autopsy on the body of a woman who had choked to death on a small rubber glove. [Jpost]
1) Were there external bruises or injuries?
2) is money or property missing?
3) Was she involved in previous violence, divorce, custody battle, or criminal activity?
4) Did someone stand to benefit from her death? Was a new insurance policy taken out last week by the man down the block?
5) Did she never use rubber gloves, never have a reason to have rubber gloves, would it be completely out of character to have rubber gloves on her person?
If the answer to the above five questions is “No”, then bury her and let her rest in peace, not pieces.

If there’s reason to suspect someone let them be investigated. An autopsy is not going to change anything. And in this case there doesn’t seem to be any reason to suspect anything. How would cutting her up help?

And you can decide from the three lines in this article that there is no reason to suspect foul play?
It must be getting pretty tight on space under the carpet.

Anyone care to guess how many deaths by foul play go undetected and unpunished and how many times the killer gets to kill again because of our autopsy prevention knee-jerk reaction?
With emotions set aside and psak halachah issued based on halachah only more autopsies would probably be performed.
How pathetic. Sounds like these nuts are more violent than the rioters in Crown Heights!
Need to purchase those special xray machines to check out the mes after death. The burning dumpsters society are bored and waiting for more action to come.
