Chapter 208: Interlaced like a mountain
In fact, I was a little scared, because I was frightened by Deng Deng's death, and when I saw the picture of Dr. Zhou's white coat suddenly moving, I didn't even dare to raise my head and look at his face again, because I was afraid that what I saw would be the last time Deng Deng broke his foot and was hospitalized, I gave Deng Deng out to eat, but I was guided by the elevator that was being repaired and was not used normally, and came to the doctor Zhou I saw in the morgue on the 7th floor.
No matter, for Deng Deng, I fight!
I raised my head and looked at Dr. Zhou's face, fortunately, it was the same face just now, there was no change in the slightest, not even the expression changed, it was still a paralyzed face.
"Doctor Zhou, why did the body be parked in the hospital instead of being sent directly to the funeral home?"
"I've already said it, I don't want to repeat it, you're wasting my time right now, do you know how precious a doctor's time is? Because the family of the deceased went through the death procedures, the process from sending the deceased to the funeral home was very long. They could not move back to their homes immediately, and the morgue was also convenient for family members to come and help organize the deceased's clothes. Sometimes there are emergencies and accidents that require police investigation, and will not be affected by others and disrupt the police order. Misleading the direction of police investigation. At this time, it is best to put the deceased in a morgue. And now it is a hot summer, the body of the deceased has no traces of survival, the blood is not circulating, the body temperature drops, in the case of the hot temperature outside, the corpse is easy to rot, corpse spots and other phenomena, don't you smell the smell in the ward is not the same as just now? In severe cases, microorganisms such as maggots may appear. Therefore, the deceased is placed in an iron box like a coffin in the scale, and the cold air in it does not cause the body to decompose, so that the body can be kept intact. That's why there is a morgue! Because the third-party death police need to collect evidence, such as forensic medicine, etc., so you can rest assured that it will not be sent to cremation first, because the responsible party needs to be held accountable before cremation, and after the police exclude the investigation and clearing, the family will be sent to the funeral home for cremation after the agreement visa, as for if you agree, the body can also be placed on the ground, or that sentence, the temporary morgue set up by the hospital is only used to store the body for a short time! Do you understand? ”
"The funeral parlor ......"
"Funeral parlors are set up in cities and towns, and are public institutions under the Ministry of Civil Affairs of various regions, and they are institutions that specialize in undertaking funeral matters. The funeral parlor has a funeral consultation room, a funeral business contact office and a crematorium. China promotes cremation to provide services for cremation, and in places where cremation conditions are not available, burial reform is also advocated. The funeral home provides services such as transportation of corpses, cremation, storage of ashes and venues for memorial activities. The function is to be responsible for the funeral of the deceased before the burial, such as the memorial service, providing the required place, and supplies such as wreaths, and also selling urns, but with the opening of the state to the funeral market, the emergence of private urns has given the families of the deceased more choices. This time I've explained it in detail enough and clearly enough, right? ”
"Then I also read the news that there was a deceased Mo, who unfortunately died of illness on the 8th and was sent to the funeral home. The family of the deceased discussed with the funeral home, set up a mourning hall to mourn the next day, and held a memorial service on the 10th and then cremated. Who knew that on the morning of the 9th, after the family came to the funeral home, they did not find the remains of their relatives, and another body that had been "cremated" was still there, but the ashes had been taken away by relatives, and this series of "accidental" incidents occurred and the police were called, and the investigation found that the body of a woman surnamed Fan Mei who had been "cremated" on the 9th was still lying in the funeral home, and the funeral home quickly contacted Mei's family to recover the ashes. After the incident, the local police station set up a coordination group. After investigation, the relevant departments denied the possibility of the body being stolen, and basically determined that the funeral home staff mistakenly cremated Mo as Mei in advance, and the person in charge of the funeral management office also sincerely said that the responsibility lies entirely with them! What do you think about this, Dr. Zhou? ”
Dr. Zhou may have been pressed step by step by my life-threatening chain, and he was not very happy, and his tone changed a lot, "It was an accident, understand?" Besides, I don't comment on other things, I just know that in the morgue of our White Light Hospital, the kind of thing you just said will never happen, okay? You haven't understood it yet, have you? ”
"Doctor, you didn't understand, did you? In judicial practice, unnatural deaths often occur, and according to China's existing laws, the public security organs are responsible for handling unnatural deaths, that is, relevant persons with knowledge have the obligation to report the case to the public security organs when they discover unnatural deaths. After receiving the report, the public security organs are to examine whether there is anything suspicious about the unnatural death, whether it is a criminal case, whether the case should be filed for investigation, and whether the perpetrator should be investigated for criminal responsibility. Among them, the identification of the cause of death is an important prerequisite and link for correctly determining the nature of unnatural deaths. However, due to the lack of legal provisions, there are a series of problems that need to be solved urgently in the identification of the cause of death. First, there is a lack of credibility in the identification of the cause of death. The public security organs conducted an on-site investigation of the unexplained death and issued an appraisal conclusion, which was both an athlete and a referee, and there was a lack of supervision and restraint. Second, the identification of corpses and causes of death focuses on the identification of physiology and medicine, and ignores the analysis and identification of incidents from the perspective of criminology and forensic science. Third, the identification of corpses and causes of death is not standardized, and there are often situations where the identification lags behind and the best time for identification is lost. As a result, there have been some incidents in judicial practice that have caused an uproar in determining the cause of death, and the parties concerned and even all sectors of society are not convinced by the appraisal conclusions, and it is difficult to avoid the situation of indulging in crimes due to errors in the appraisal of the cause of death, and even triggering mass incidents. ”
"Xiaojiao, why are you here?"
Xiaojiao didn't know where to get the wheelchair, after opening the door of Deng Deng's ward, she immediately closed it from the inside, and at this moment Xiaojiao was being pushed by her mother, the aunt who came to Deng Deng's ward just now and brought us a snack.
I hurriedly ran over, grabbed Xiaojiao's hand, and whispered to her by her ear, "Xiaojiao! How did you hear that the sound insulation of Baiguang Hospital is so good? ”
"Crack in the door!" Xiaojiao looked at my face mischievously, and then went on to say to Dr. Zhou.
In other words, in order to avoid situations such as self-examination and self-investigation by public security organs, multiple appraisals, and duplicate appraisals, it is urgent to establish the procedures for determining the cause of death supervised by the procuratorial organs and implemented by the public security organs as a pre-procedure for initiating litigation in China's criminal and civil procedures. Supervision by the procuratorial organs is conducive to correctly determining the cause of death, making the case positively certain, and avoiding multiple appraisal agencies from making completely different appraisal conclusions on the same death case, resulting in the cause of death being undetermined, which is undoubtedly of great significance for timely ascertaining the cause of death, upholding justice, advancing the process of rule of law, and enhancing the public's confidence in judicial fairness! ”
"What are you telling me all this for, who are you?"
"I am a future barrister, Ding Xiaojiao, a current first-year student at Lunhong University. You know who I am, right? So I'm going to start talking about the fact that many countries around the world today have systems in which prosecutors are involved in determining the cause of death. In the United Kingdom, for example, there is a coroner or coroner system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and in Scotland a prosecutor's corroboration system. The coroner or prosecutor is responsible for the investigation of suspected deaths. In Scottish territory, where the cause of death is unknown or in doubt, it is up to the Public Prosecutor to decide whether to send the body to a university forensic institution for autopsy. The Scottish Home Office and Health Service has set up four forensic science accreditation bodies in four universities, each of which is administratively managed by the university and funded by the government. The forensic autopsy must be performed by two forensic doctors, who jointly sign the testimonial, and both forensic doctors must appear in court at different times to be questioned and challenged. In Hong Kong, the Coroner's Court and Coroner's System are introduced. The Coroner's Court in Hong Kong deals with all types of unusual deaths, such as sudden death, death due to accident or violence, or death under suspicious circumstances, to determine the nature and cause of death. According to the current legislation in Hong Kong, there are a total of 20 types of death cases that need to be reported to the Coroner. These include deaths of unknown causes, deaths caused by accidents or injuries, deaths in the custody of official institutions, such as deaths in prison or detention centres, fetal deaths, maternal deaths, suicides, abuse, starvation, death due to negligence, etc. The person responsible for the death or other person who has a duty to report the death should report it to the Coroner as soon as practicable when they become aware of the death, and the police should report the death to the Coroner if the death occurred while in police custody. Upon receipt of the report, the Coroner has the duty to ascertain the cause of death of the deceased and the facts surrounding the incident, and to make recommendations to prevent the recurrence of similar deaths, so that some life-threatening factors can be discovered at an early stage and the neglected offences can be exposed. ”
"Excuse me! We are Lunhong City! ”
"Looks like you really didn't understand, huh? Doctor! The idea of establishing a procuratorial supervision system for determining the cause of death is that where a death occurs and the cause of death or the perpetrator of the crime is unknown, the public security organ in the jurisdiction shall, after receiving the report, notify the procuratorate to supervise the scene without delay. Where the procuratorate receives the notice, it shall immediately dispatch a procurator to the scene to carry out supervision. The content of the prosecutor's supervision is to use forensic science, criminology, and judicial experience to determine the cause of death. Guide public security personnel to collect evidence in accordance with law and charge crimes. Supervise and correct the illegal acts of public security personnel in the identification of the cause of death and follow-up investigations. What I want to say is, although it is an assumption, but doctor, how can you guarantee that Deng Deng will die now? If it is really a phenomenon of fake death, the law still needs to be constantly improved and revised, is there no loophole in the regulations of your hospital? ”
Interlaced like a mountain, Dr. Zhou was stunned by Xiaojiao's words.
"Good! Then I'll give you another 30 minutes, and I'll be here when the 30 minutes are up! ”
