I actually have quite a bit of experience of this during the first part of my NHS career: too much in fact. I'd imagine that the situation in the USA is similar to here in that death needs to be certified before mortuary staff will accept the 'customer'. In most cases of hospital deaths they are certified quite quickly, since the cause is required it needs a medic who has access to the case history and who needs to confirm that death has occurred and the cause, where the documentation in needed to register the death and arrange a funeral, and in the case of hospital deaths to remove the body from the clinical area where death occurred.
Death being certified is NOT the same as issuing a death certificate.
My Mother was a Nurse. The Coroner confirms cause of death in a hospital. Whilst it may be an heart attack the cause is not always the same. Hence a death in hospital from injuries sustained in a car accident will not be explained by the doctor in attendance. The Coroner will having examined the body give the cause of death officially. Until the coroner makes the official decision then no death certificate or burial can take place.
You haven't set out the details, but if the claim is that the body was in the mortuary with tag-on-toe but there is no death certificate then it probably isn't true (given the business of the vested interests in the case).
It is a fact that death certificates are not issued by the Emergency department when a person has died from injuries sustained in a car crash. The Coroner has to examine and determine what caused the death, to ensure no negligence by hospital. Time of death is recorded.
All tubes and drips remain in the body till the coroner removes them.
No facts have been offered.
What facts. Don't be so lazy if you want facts got to Andrew Wommack and get them.
Do your own research. You are the one in doubt.
You've yet to provide convincing evidence of the death, since if he wasn't dead then he wasn't resurrected.
He is alive... What other proof is there? Go to Andrew Wommack and the hospital if you want to have it confirmed. Truth is your too frightened and using this bumph above as an excuse because you know the hospital and Andrew Wommack will confirm it. Who is really crying wolf.
One answer is that in the absence of documentation this claim may be false.
Well you have been told where to look. But we know your too scared and will keep making excuses...
When the death occurs in hospital it does, as I noted earlier. Rigor can begin after just a couple of hours so the examination of the body would be done fairly promptly - rigor starts first in the eyelids, jaw and neck and examination of the pupils is one of the key indicators of clinical death.
Rigor is affected by temperature and even if the person attacked or exercising at time of death. Peter Wommack was in a car accident and had died from his injuries.
Rigor usually sets in within 1-3 hours he had been dead over 4 hours. It usually is gone within 24 hours.
Wrong - the certification of death requires a qualified medical practitioner, and in the UK it requires two separate examinations if a cremation is planned.
Actually when it is an expected death at home then the gp does not need to attend on death.
A different doctor attends at expected death and signs a document allowing the person to get a death certificate and also call the funeral directors the same day/night.
It happened with my grandmother when she died at home and we were caring for her.
As it was an expected death the GP was not required to return an a separate doctor attended after he death and gave us the necessary paper to register her death. The funeral directors came the same night and prepared her. Coming back the next morning as it was late. Leaving us time to be with her.
This doesn't sound remotely credible - bodies don't get into mortuaries unless death has been properly certified, and if they did then that would be issue worthy of investigation.
Once a person dies in ER after an accident or anything. The body is removed to morgue for the coroner to do his work, But Andrew Wommack does not live in England, had you done any real research you would have known that. In fact your replies show you have NO idea who he is or where he comes from. TYPICAL.
So, where is the death certificate - since without it this story is exactly that: a story, and since you are championing it then we should expect you to present the essential details.
Did you get the information from a site because the hospitals don't work as you have said.
I know as my sister died from a brain brain hemorrhage she was a child and the diagnosis had been made before surgery and so her death did not require an autopsy he cause was known.
No certificate was given to us that day. The surgeon asked if he could reopen her head wound to see if they could learn anything which might help someone in the future. My mum allowed this to happen.
No two doctors needs to give us the paper to collect a death certificate.
Some times real life experiences give us more insight to hospital workings than a small experience of working in the NHS.
