Re: Death Cirtificate change
It is very difficult, but not impossible, to change the ME's mind once s/he has decided upon a cause of death.
It is not usual for the ME to arrive at a conclusion different from that of law enforcement.
If you cannot persuade the ME to change, with the help of the reports, then you will have to file suit in the District Court to contest the ME's findings and establish whatever other relief you seek.
