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 observ- ance of the following rules of practice :


(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last ill- ness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.


(2) Board of Health physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease un- related to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physician is absent from bome when the certificate of death Is needed.


(3) Medleal Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths supposably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septice- mia), 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 occupa- tion, 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 deatb will state the cause and manner thereof, and will specify: (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury and of its consequences ; and (2) under manner, tbe mode of its production togetber with the circumstances wben these are known. For example: "Compound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gus bacillus) caused hy a steam railway ac- cident." "Pistol shot wound of the cbest with associated hemor- rhage, homicidal." "Aspbyxiation by suspension, suicidal." "Syn- copc while under the influence of ether administered as a surgical anaestbetic." "Fracture of the skull with associated internal injury sustained under circumstances unknown."


If discase or injury was related to occupation, specify. If inves- tigation sbows the death to have been due to disease, specify: (1) Under cause, its known or presumahle nature; and (2) under man- ner, indicate the circumstances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: "Hemorrhage spontaneous, of tbe hrain (basal 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.

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 belief the name of the deceased, his supposed agc, the disease of which he died, defincd as required by section one. where same was contraeted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician or offieer and the date of his death .. . Gen. Laws. Chap. 46, Sec. 9.


No undertaker or other person shall bury or otherwise dispose of a human body in a town, or remove therefrom a human body which has not been buried, until he has received a permit from the board of health, or its agent appointed to issue sueh 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 receiv- ing tomnb to another in the same cemetery, until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the elerk 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 ease 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 ecrtificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is in- sufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or em- ployed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is caused by 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 another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual form for the re- moval of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the death certificate contains a reeital, 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 been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit. The board of health, or it's agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate, shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying 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 elerk or registrar may require .- 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 rceeived a permit so to do from the board of health or its agent appointed to issue sueli 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 person appointed to have the care of the cemetery or burial ground in which the interment is made. . . . Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).


RULES OF PRACTICE


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


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


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


(3) Medieal Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths supposably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (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 .- Cause of death means the disease, or complication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e. g., heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, ete. As prineipal eause name the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid conditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important complication of the principal cause.


Statement of Oceupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits ean be known. Make some entry in this seetion for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupation had been given up or changed on account of the disease causing death, report the usual occupation prior to Illness. If the deceased had retired from business, report the usual oeeupation prior to retirement. Children not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation whatever write none.
