Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edi- tion ).


Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence.

... ]Ie 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 be, 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 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 discase unrelated to any form of injury.


(2) Board of Health physicians 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- eian is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.


(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or in- directly hy traumatism (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), therinal, 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 & death 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, 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 discase or injury was related to occupation, specify. If investigstion 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 (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.
