Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[sarah c]

I'm pretty sure (from watching TV though, not from personal experience) that the morgue would have taken the body away if there was going to be an autopsy. The undertakers would then collect the body from the morgue after the autopsy.

I haven't read the spoilers though, so maybe you all know something I don't (please don't give it away if you do ).

You are right but it's mortuary not morgue and post mortem not autopsy :-)

A post mortem is an autopsy - to establish cause of death

A post mortem is at the discretion of the coroner is it not? And given Hayley was terminally ill and had seen the nurse or GP within the last two weeks a pm wouldn't be automatic

That said the GP couldn't issue a death certificate!!! Only certify death which are two different things!!

Certainly that she died suddenly at home and was not hospitalized in the very last stages of her illness would be a red flag.

The Doctor said "I'm afraid Haley's condition left her too weak to carry on, her body simply shut down",
Anna asks, "So can you do a certificate"
Doctor "All done, you'll need to take this to the funeral directors" and gives Roy the death certificate.

So it is all done and dusted, no need for an enquiry.

Why would we expect Corrie to be written with medical or legal accuracy?

Shoddy work on the doctor's part!
