§ 103275 Coroner Death Certificate Registration

• •The coroner has to register the death with the local registrar.
• •The certificate must include the person's name and any statistical details known.
• •This is required especially when the person was unknown at first.

A body is found after a car crash and the police can't tell who it is. Later, DNA testing reveals the person's name.

Once the coroner learns the name, they must fill out a death certificate with that name and any other facts they have, and give it to the local registrar who keeps official death records.
