It wasnt his job to confirm time of death, Lookout. It was his job to confirm that death had occured. Thats it.
But he was a doctor,,and if there'd been the slightest consideration for the deceased,they should have been given a time of death. Was it not customary for the relatives to ask what time they died,as is the norm with most.? I wonder what was on their death certificates.!
That was one of the first questions I was asked when there'd been a death on the hospital ward. The relatives want to know,,,well most.!
I would have asked if I'd been any of the relatives. If only as an act of showing concern.
