Is leaving a central line in helpful?

When I was a new ICU RN the nurse training me told me that when a patient dies and isn’t getting an autopsy that we should still leave the central line in place because it is helpful for the mortician. I’ve been thinking that for years but have never known if it’s true. Any validity to this?
