Deaths in public areas, such as workplaces, streets, or buildings, require an immediate call to emergency services at 112. This is a single number that will forward the call to the appropriate authorities, such as emergency medical services, the police, and others. The exact location of the body (street, house number, nearby landmarks) must be clearly stated. Also describe the person's condition: "unconscious," "not breathing," "appears to be dead," etc. Provide additional information: are there any visible injuries, blood, suspicious objects or weapons, etc.
Follow-up actions include the certification of death by emergency services. Medical personnel confirm the fact of death, and the police determine whether the death was violent. If the death is due to natural causes, the body is sent to the morgue; if there are signs of violent death, they arrange for the transfer of the body to a forensic morgue to determine the cause of death.
The police are required to open an investigation into the circumstances of the death and notify the relatives of the location of the body and how to obtain a medical certificate stating the cause of death.
If the identity of the deceased cannot be established, their information (age, gender, unique characteristics) is forwarded to the accident registry office. The body will be stored in the morgue for up to two weeks, giving relatives time for possible identification and searches. After this, the body can be handed over to the family.
After receiving notification of your loved one's death, contact the CITY FUNERAL SERVICE at +371 2944 9849. Our funeral service agent will promptly arrive at your location, provide important information about the funeral procedure, and assist with all stages of the organization.
