Unattended deaths in WV require an autopsy to provide cause of death, unless the deceased has documented medical history, and their physician will sign the death certificate.

JAMMA ... Moving this up to see if you can see it yet.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

JAMMA I am in NJ and you need to contact your local health dept. If you can not get through to them then contact your local police dept. On the non 911 phone# they would be able to guide you.
