Gavin sincerely believes that an autopsy would desecrate his body and violate the sanctity of keeping his human body intact, according to his lawsuit.
says he doesn’t plan any last-minute appeals to stop his lethal injection execution next week, but he is asking state officials one thing: don’t conduct an autopsy on his body because of his religious beliefs.
Gavin “does not anticipate any further appeals or requests for stays of his execution” and the autopsy argument is not an effort to block the execution, the lawsuit states. “This law is intended to establish with certainty the cause of death in any such event,” according to the lawsuit. “After Mr. Gavin’s execution, there will be no question as to who or what caused Mr. Gavin’s death. The State will execute him by lethal injection.”A prison spokesperson had not responded to AL.com’s request for comment prior to the publication of this story. An attorney with the Alabama Attorney General’s Office also had not responded to a request by AL.
