to complete the medical part of the death certificate, which includes: date and time
pronounced dead, date and time of death, whether case was referred to medical examiner
or coroner, cause of death section (cause of death, manner of death, tobacco use,
pregnancy status for females), injury items (for cases involving injury), and certifier
section (with signatures). This term could be used for other kinds of death certificates
(e.g. non-US) and for CDA.;
