Preliminary report - description of bodies

I wonder if the description of the bodies as being '...relatively well preserved. All of them were handed over to the Brazilian Navy to be transferred to the Recife morgue. At this stage of the investigation, the BEA has not yet had access to the autopsy data.', is to forestall any claim by the Brazilians that the bodies were not in a good enough condition for the autopsies to reveal useful information?

It seems extraordinary to me that the autopsy information has not been shared with the BEA. The injuries to the bodies must be one of the biggest clues about what happened on the plane.

I know the BEA had scheduled their preliminary incident report for end June. Is there not a similar deadline for a preliminary autopsy report?
