It is too harsh and going beyond common sense to insist that autopsy should be conducted through consultation between the bereaved family, the victim, and police, the assailant, the statement noted, adding: Autopsy of Paek Nam Gi is not necessary as the cause of his death is very clear.

The international community is unanimously criticizing the attempt at autopsy going against the will of the bereaved family.

The statement urged the "government" to observe the minimum decorum for the victim and bereaved family and immediately stop the attempt at autopsy.
