EXTRACTS FROM THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNING THE RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH


A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forthwith, after the death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the request of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the best of his knowledge and helief the naine of the deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which he died, defined as required by section one, where same was contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive hy the physician or officer and the date of his death ... Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.


A physician or otficer furnishing a certificate of death as required hy the preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four- teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the ariny, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, speci- fying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or immediate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply with any provision of this section, such physician or officer shall forfeit ten dollars. For the purposes of this sec- tion and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word "war" shall include the China relief ex- pedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, he deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two, and the Mexi- can border service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and nineteen hundred and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 46, Sec. 10.


No undertaker or other person shall bury or otherwise dispose of a human hody in a town, or remove therefrom a human body which has not been huried, until he has received a permit from the board of health, or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the person died; and no undertaker or other person shall exhume a human body and remove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or from one grave or tomb other than the receiving tomh to another in the sante cemetery, until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the clerk of the town where the body is buried. No such permit shall be issued until there shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original interment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physi- cian who is a member of the hoard of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon application make the certificate re- quired of the attending physician. If death is caused hy violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town to an- other within the commonwealthi cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the pos- session of the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such removal; provided, that such body shall he returned to the town from which it was removed within thirty-six hours after such re- moval, unless a permit in the usual form for the removal of such body has heen sooner obtained hereunder. If the death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six, that the deceased served in the army. navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which


it has heen engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit. The hoard of health, or it» agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate, shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for regis- tration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician cer- tifying the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may re- quire .- Chap. 114, Sec. 45, G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).


No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has re- ceived a permit so to do from the board of health or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the body is to be buried or the funeral is to be held, or from a per- sou appointed to have the care of the cemetery or burial ground in which the interment is made. ... Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edi- tion).


Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead hodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died hy violence. If a medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body of such a person, he shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies and take charge of the same; ... - General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.


... He shall in all cases certify to the town clerk or registrar in the place where the deceased died his name and residence, if known; otherwise a description as full as may he, with the cause and manner of death .- General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 7.


... The medical examiner certifies the cause and manner of death to the best of his knowledge and belief.


RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls for the ohservance of the following rules of practice :


(1) Attending physiolans will' certify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given hedside care during a last illness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.


(2) Board of Health physiclans will certify to such deaths only aa those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physi- cian is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.


(3) Medical. Examiners will investigate and cortily to- all deaths sup- posably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or in- directly by traumatismn (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from Injury or Infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.


STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF DEATH


Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will atate the cause and manner thereof, and will specify : (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury and of its consequences; and (2) under manner, the mode of its production together with the circumstances when these are known. For example: "Com- pound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gas bacillus) caused by a steam railway accident." "Pistol shot wound of the chest with asso- ciated hemorrhage, homicidal." "Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal." "Syncope while under the influence of ether administered as a surgical anaesthetic." "Fracture of the skull with associated internal injury sus- tained under circumstances unknown."


If disease or injury was related to occupation, specify. If investigation shows the death to have been due to disease, specify : (1) Under cause its known or presumable nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circum- stances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example : "Hemorrhage spon- taneous of the brain (hasal ganglia) (found dead in bed)." "Heart disease, presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death.)"


DESCRIPTION (for unknown person)


NOTICE TO UNDERTAKERS: No embalming fluid, or any substitute therefor, shall be injected into the body of any person supposed to have met his death by violence, until a permit, signed by the Medical Examiner, has first been obtained .- General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 14.
