Decedent Affairs
The purpose of the Decedent Affairs webpage is to provide assistance to physicians, nursing services, and in-hospital staff when a death has occurred.
On these pages you will find information specific to in-hospital deaths, Emergency Department deaths, fetal deaths, TDCJ deaths, and reportable Medical Examiner deaths. The links on the left also provide detailed instructions on how to complete autopsy authorization forms and death certificates.
We hope that you will find these pages helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us for additional information.
