An autopsy is performed if requested by the coroner.

http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/post-morte ... ction.aspx

In most cases, a doctor or the police refer a death to the coroner. A death will be referred to the coroner if:

it's unexpected, such as the sudden death of a baby (cot death)
it's violent, unnatural or suspicious, such as a suicide or drug overdose
it's the result of an accident or injury
it occurred during or soon after a hospital procedure, such as surgery
the cause of death is unknown
