Guidance on the law concerning hospital postmortems in the UK.

Fred Harvey died 3months after contracting a wasting disease which puzzled both his GP and hospital doctor. The consultant physician wished to carry out a postmortem on Fred and asked permission of Fred's wife Muriel. Muriel was a member of a religious sect of strict brethren who believed in the ultimate resurrection of the body. She therefore refused to allow Fred to be cut up. The consultant considered that he could not complete the death certificate until a postmortem had been carried out to ascertain exactly what the cause was of Fred's death. In addition, although he did not tell Muriel this, he wished to examine Fred for his own research and teaching purposes and, in particular, remove the liver and carry out research on it. What is the law?
