Hospice changes things legally. Basically, when somebody is enrolled into hospice they are pre filling out the death cert. When a non-hospice patient dies there is an investigation into cause of death by coroner. When you die from hospice, no investigation. Straight to the funeral home. Also, the first thing the hospice workers do is collect the morphine. Bottom line, it’s a legal way to check out with morphine because there will be no toxicology report. Shhh secret!

Wasn't a hospice - was the nursing home where he had lived for 2+ years ...

WAIT ONE SECOND. You are lying...The three times we had hospice working with us...the procedure was this. When the patient died, the hospice worker took ALL THE MEDICATION AND FLUSHED IT DOWN THE TOILET WITH ME PRESENT How dare you besmirch some of the most compassionate, hard working people there are. SHAME ON YOU.

I was present at the death of a friend where Hospice was involved.

I was witness when the worker flushed the morphine down the toilet.

The coroner had to come to the house before the deceased was removed to certify the cause of death..which was cancer.
