Yes. They can. The same thing happened in the death of Suchir Balaji; the Open AI Whistleblower. The family requested an independent autopsy and the findings turned out to be different than the county autopsy.
From my understanding the body would need to be released to the family before they can get a private autopsy done if it's part of a criminal investigation
