I’ve been a hospital nurse for a long time.
Every time we have a death, even if the patient was on hospice, we have to call it into the county medical examiner and answer a lot of questions before the person on the phone gives us a number to put on the death certificate saying there’s no cause for an investigation. That way the employees at the funeral director’s have permission to pick up the body from the morgue and take it to the funeral home for cremation or embalming.
If the patient dies within 24 hours of admission or was healthy when last seen and was “found down in the community,” then that’s a mandatory autopsy.
This is in King County, Washington, but I’m sure the laws are pretty similar elsewhere.
Then I guess you haven’t spent much time in that part of west Texas.
Can you tell me this...
If a dead body lays on clean sheets for hours and hours and hours..say at least 6 hours..won’t there be some kind of sign???
Like from bowels or kidney?
