I’m specifically recalling a case where a local mom woke up to find her 10 year old son dead. Perfectly healthy and just died in his sleep. 6 months later it was determined he died of an aneurysm. Did they just not suspect foul play? Would the autopsy have happened quicker if they had? Does the autopsy itself take a long time or is it a paperwork/political thing?

An autopsy is the medical examination of the body, which may involve surgical investigation.
An inquest is the legal hearing which results in the formal determination of the cause of death, which may be what took the time.
