why is there a toilet right next to the autopsy table seems like a funny place for one

It's a wash basin, used for washing out organs after they are removed from the body.

Not sure it's a toilet... The base looks kind of like one, but it's a bit on the large side, and there's a faucet above it. I'd guess it's another sink--seems like I vaguely recall seeing something like that in the morgue in another gallery, although I could be misremembering.

I believe that Motts and Joe are correct - it's a wash basin/drain basin for cleaning body parts.

Hospitals today use those basins, and not just in the morgue. They can be found all over the hospital I work at in Oregon
