Court of Appeals of Mississippi June 13, 2000, No. 1998-CA-01336-COA (Shepard v. Johnson)

KING, P.J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. This appeal arises from the Scott County Circuit Court’s judgment sustaining Eddie Johnson’s, d/b/a Holifield Funeral Home, (“Holifield”) motion for summary judgment. The trial court found that De-lie Shepard executed a written consent, which authorized the hospital to perform an autopsy on her son and to remove and to retain tissues as the physician deemed proper.
