What it does

Existing law requires the coroner to inquire into and determine the circumstances, manner, and cause of certain deaths, including, but not limited to, a sudden or unusual death. Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires the coroner to, among other things, perform an autopsy, within 24 hours or as soon thereafter as feasible, in any case where an infant under one year of age has died suddenly and unexpectedly and authorizes the coroner to take tissue samples without parental consent.
