By Daily Mail Reporter 22nd April 2011 When police pulled a headless body from a river, you would not have thought it needed a doctor to confirm the person was dead. But there are rules and procedures to follow. And a medic was duly called in to declare that the man in question was actually ‘life extinct’. Yesterday a coroner expressed surprise at why a doctor was summoned. ‘Even though there was no head, and the maggots, you had to call him in?’ Dr Shirley Radcliffe asked Det Insp Chuk Gwams. The officer replied: ‘Yes Ma’am. They are the experts, we are not.’ The inquest heard that police were called to the River Wandle in Wimbledon, South-West London, last June. read the rest here: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1379380/Police-doctor-tell-headless-man-dead.htmlstorm xx lol

Declaration of Death , bit late but it is the process in almost every country, seems odd i agree but protocol i guess
