See link https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/post-mortem/ Yes, it says so in there "if the cause of death is unknown" that means undiagnosed before the event,.in practice, any form of sudden death has to be reported to the coroner it has been the subject of quite a lot of discussion, people saying relatives who clearly didn't die of covid being recorded as covid. That way the body can be released directly to the undertaker and by passes the red tape. Edited December 10, 2020 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 My Dad died suddenly in 2004, and although he had a history of angina, had two heart attacks and underwent quadruple bypass surgery, underwent a full PM because he hadn’t seen his GP for some time.

My father got up one morning and rang his neighbour and said I don't feel very well. She went round, rang the doctor and he died in the chair he was sitting on there and then with the Doctor in attendance. Only 78ysr but the family Doctor just wrote in natural causes job done.

walshie Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 My wife's Uncle Mike who lived in Canada had a fall at home a few weeks back. He's in his 80s so they took him to hospital for a checkover. The only thing he said hurt was his hand so they x-rayed it, gave him the all clear and sent him home. He was dead the next morning. They've just produced the results of the autopsy and he apparently bled to death internally due to some blood thinning agent he'd been taking for years. You'd think someone would have checked his records before discharging him. At least they didn't put it down as covid. Unfortunately his 8 brothers and sisters won't be able to go to the funeral as none live in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
