When to Do a Post Mortem?
Schedule the Post-Mortem When You Start the Project. Post-Mortems Should Be Part of the Project Plan from the Beginning, So the Project Team Members Will Know...
When should a post-mortem be carried out?
A post-mortem will be carried out as soon as possible, usually within 2 to 3 working days of a person's death. In some cases, it may be possible for it to take place within 24 hours. Depending upon when the examination is due to take place, you may be able to see the body before the post-mortem is carried out.
Who decides if a post-mortem is needed?
The coroner may decide a post-mortem is needed to find out how the person died. This can be done either in a hospital or mortuary. You cannot object to a coroner's post-mortem - but if you've asked the coroner must tell you (and the person's GP) when and where the examination will take place.
