C. When a client dies within 24 hours of admission to the hospital. If a client dies within 24 hours of admission to the hospital, the medical examiner is required to decide whether a postmortem examination should be conducted. If a client dies under suspicious circumstances, the medical examiner decides whether a postmortem examination is necessary. The medical examiner does not make the decision regarding postmortem examination if the client dies after 48 hours of being admitted to the hospital. A client may give a written consent before death to perform an autopsy. Such instances are not subject to the review of the medical examiner.
