Benjamin Watterson, 1895, emigration to Philadelphia

[Peggy13]

Benjamin's death certificate says he had an autopsy. I wonder if one could obtain the results of that autopsy. Could be interesting. Also although he died Mar 8, 1952 he wasn't buried until May 5 in Potter's Field.  Wonder why.

I have emailed the Philadelphia Archives for Benjamin's autopsy report, his naturalization papers, his divorce record, and his prison records. The autopsy report could be interesting, although the death certificate says he died of lung cancer and pericarditis. Why an autopsy?

It appears that autopsy reports are not available in Philadelphia between 1948-1960. But I am awaiting Benjamin's naturalization record and his prison records, hoping the latter will mention his wife Lizzie and her death, or remarried name or residence. Anything at all.
