[Earthboy]

bro, thanks for answering him. it's shows that one's experience does not means that he knows everything so don't be over confident when giving advice to others.

 

If the death occurs in the hospital. The police will already been informed when IC was being surrendered and death cert to be issued.

I just relate what I knew from experiences. Unless the death is occurred at home which was not attended by doctor, the family need to report it to the police at police post and they will make arrange for medical practitioner to examine the body to certify the death reason and time. So it is not wrong to say that we need to report to police. Just depend on the place of death. One point, for death in government hospital, need to produce the death cert at ICA to register the death too. After that, all the system are linked between the government department like ICA, police, CPF and etc. No need to inform one by one.

For death cert, it was done on the day the deceased passed away.

Thank you for the advises.

But not all deaths are at the hospital. For places like hospice there's no police stationed at the morgue.

But at hospice there will be the regular doctor or inhouse one whom visits regularly right?? to certify the death

In this case the doctor will issue the death cert but informing the government organisations will have to be done at a police post/station. In other words the death cert alone doesn't have authorisation of any sort if you go to any government organisation. What they want to see is the copy of the police report.

There are two important documents involved, one by the Doctor, the other by the Police.

 

CCOD - Certification of Caused of Death (Issue by Doctor, for death occurring at home, can engage GPs making house calls)

This is a legal document from the doctor to the police to identify that a death has happened because of certain medical conditions. It can only be done by a registered doctor. The doctor may need to answer enquiries from the various disease registries and Ministry of Health and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. As such, medical documents from the various doctors and hospitals may need to be given to the doctor certifying the death for future reference.

 

Death Certificate (By the Police or ICA)

This is a legal document issued by the police from their police post to the relatives. Any person (above 21 years of age) can report the death. The person reporting must bring along their Identity Card, the CCOD and the deceased's Identity Card. The family must decide whether the deceased is to be cremated or buried and where the process is done.

 

Usually for death happens at home, you will have to first make a police report because they need to rule out 'foul play'.
