The remains were brought into one of the prison buildings where an autopsy was performed. Doctors and military personnel were present and Alexander Gardner took a photograph of the event. Gardner was there to document the execution taking four photographs of the scene
The autopsy photograph is shown in Witness to an Era: The Life and Photographs of Alexander Gardner by Mark Katz.
Does anyone have this book? is there a credit line for the image?

Yes, I own the book and have seen the image. Not sure about the credit line as I don't have the book with me at the moment. I'll check it later.
