I dealt with the Sports Brain Bank last year for a mate who committed suicide at only age 42 and had an extensive boxing career back in the UK and despite jumping 13 stories onto concrete and laying in a morgue at only fridge temperature for several weeks the affable Prof Buckland managed to get a viable sample but was difficult to detect if it was Stage 1 or 2. Ideally they want the brain within 24 hours of death and testing is also free for those interested for friends, family etc and you can obviously put yourself down as a donor too. Not sure if you can get samples sent from NZ or elsewhere:
