If death occurred under circumstances as enumerated in subsection (a) of section 19a-406 and if the body has been buried without proper certification of death, the Chief Medical Examiner or his deputy, upon ascertaining such facts, shall notify the state's attorney of the judicial district in which the body was buried. The state's attorney shall thereupon present such facts to the judge of the superior court of such judicial district, and the judge may by written order require the body to be exhumed and an autopsy performed at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. A copy of such order shall be filed with the registrar of vital statistics of the town in which the body was buried. A full and complete report of the facts developed by such autopsy and the findings of the person making the same shall be filed without unnecessary delay and a copy given to the state's attorney of the judicial district within which the death occurred or the body was buried.
