STORYLINE:
The Federal Penitentiary in Terre Haute went into final preparations on Sunday to execute Timothy McVeigh for the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building in 1995.
The prison warden, Harvey Lappin will brief the over 1,700 members of the media after McVeigh's death, expected shortly after 1200 GMT on Monday .
Meanwhile, the Vigo County coroner prepared to examine McVeigh's body after what will be her first execution.
Susan Amos said late on Sunday that all the details have been worked out and that everything is set for her work after the execution.
The Chief Deputy Coroner will also be present in the death chamber and will declare McVeigh's death.
After that, Amos will go into the death chamber to do an external examination of the body to see if there was anything unusual in his death.
At this point there is an agreement not to do an autopsy.
If things, however, seem 'out of the ordinary' , then Amos will approach Judge Matsch, who on Wednesday denied McVeigh's stay of execution, to ask for permission to do an autopsy.
After Amos finalises the death certificate, it will be up to the US Marshalls when McVeigh's body will be removed from the Terre Haute death house.
McVeigh's body will be cremated and the location of the ashes will remain unknown to the public.
