The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a 2016 supernatural horror film directed by André Ovredal. It stars Emile Hirsch and Brian Cox as father-and-son coroners who experience supernatural phenomena while examining the body of an unidentified woman (played by Olwen Kelly). It is Ovredal's first English-language film. The corpse of an unidentified young woman is found at the scene of an inexplicable multiple homicides. Sheriff Sheldon Burke finds no signs of forced entry, and Lieutenant Wade suggests that the victims were trying to escape. Emma Roberts visits her boyfriend, Austin Tilden, and his father, Tommy, a small-town coroner. Tommy explains that coroners in the past used to tie bells to bodies to ensure they were dead, not comatose. Sheriff Burke arrives with the mysterious body of Jane Doe and tells Tommy that he needs the cause of death by morning. Austin postpones his date with Emma to help his father, promising to meet her later that evening.
