Where you are asked to certify the cause of death for a person who is dead on arrival, you will need to gather information from family, ambulance personnel and friends about the circumstances of the death.<\/p>

\u2022If the death is obviously due to unnatural causes, the case should be referred to forensic pathology services in the prescribed manner with any information that you have collected.<\/p>

\u2022Where it is not obvious that the death was due to unnatural causes, you will need to get a medical history from family, ambulance personnel and friends.\u00a0<\/p>

\u2022You could also check whether there are medical records for the person in the facility.\u00a0<\/p>

\u2022You must do a complete external examination of the unclothed body to ensure that there are no injuries present.\u00a0<\/p>

\u2022Make detailed notes to cover yourself.\u00a0<\/p>

\u2022Ask senior colleagues for advice.<\/p>

\u2022If you are still unsure, contact forensic pathologist to discuss whether the case should be referred or not.<\/p>

\u2022Remember, you are only required to report your best medical opinion\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
