My adult son died at home in 2020. I called 911 and let the professionals handle it. However, I was surprised to learn that a death at home was considered a homicide until proven otherwise. Fortunately, my son's doctor gave them cause of death over the phone; that's how sick he had been. They did do a small investigation and removed controlled medications and some other medical stuff. It went quite smoothly, as I just stayed out of the way and let everyone do their jobs in peace.

In CA you need a pronouncement. Best to call your local non-emergency number for Fire and Paramedic services (or 911 if no other option) to get things going.

When I drop they can just feed me to someone’s pet tiger in Texas

You may or may not see this comment but I like the information you provide. As far as Small Estates go, what if the person has no house or car, but has over $100K between 2 bank accounts. Both accounts have beneficiary designations for the funds however, so are those funds counted as part of the Estate? Illinois

There was a old lady who died because she died in her sleep in my room may her rest in peace 🙏

this lady got it all wrong, you can bet that no one will pick up that phone at the coroner's office, you should call the police non emergency number

If they're in hospice care, call the hospice nurse. They'll take care of the details, notify the funeral home etc. No need to call 911, it's not an emergency.

0:50 "If someone SHOULD die at home..." sounds a bit sussy

Irresponsible advice. Judging by the title of the channel, this woman would appear to be dispensing legal advice on the internet. She can't speak for all jurisdictions because laws are different. Where I live, since the average citizen is not considered qualified to determine death with certainty, the person discovering a non-responsive person would check for pulse and breathing and call 911. And the recommendation, but not legally required, is to administer cpr UNLESS the patient was obvioulsy dead, ie decomposing or decapitated.

Believe means to be persuaded or convinced Salvation To believe in Jesus Christ, is to believe he is the Christ and that he guarantees everlasting life to all that believe in him New King James Version 1 John 5:1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 6:47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. Once Saved Always Saved John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

Fed up i know exactly how you feel cuz 2 yrs ago my husband died from covid i was married for 38 yrs i miss him every day also tge intensity of grief gets less but hollow ness of losing them never goes away

When my Father died we called for an ambulance and were told they could not transport. The police arrived and called the coroner whose office didn't open for another 3 hours (this was at 4:am). The police did tell us a family doctor could pronounce him as not having foul play which he did. Check your state laws as they all differm

was hopping this was a different super senior tutorial

My dad died at home father's day 2020 he was my best friend

I would call 911 anyway. Besides, how do you know what the coroner's phone number is?

Thank you for the info t sister n i took care of my mother we had hospice come to the house they were great they took care of everything that was over 11 yrs ago now i live with my sister and i am glade to know what to do we discussed it either she will do for me or i for herThank you 🌺🏝️🌅

Thank you,but I would probably call either my Gp or paramedics first to formally declare that my relative is dead,then proceed next step.From UK.

CALL THE POLICE -- No coroner will take your call. This woman looks like she was filmed in black and white. Call the coroner of you see HER in your house.

Is this the same in the UK

Great to know that you are also a gardener!

I find myself in a peculiar predicament in that I am 78 and my wife 72 - married 50plus years and met in college = it's like a waiting game and we love TV GAME SHOWS - only now we are the participants. Given that - it is an eerie sense to know one of us will leave first then another at BECK 'N CALL of spiritual guides - notwithstanding hospitalizationation although I have spent my fair time in hospitals. Our funeral program lock stock and barrel is DONE! PS: I still think my family now on other side will tell me when it is safe to cross over as well as my wife and her extended family on other side prompting her to go. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK!

Yes my parents died at home . ❤

My wife 😢❤ passed away in her sleep , right next to me 😢 ❤ RIP 🙏

If the person is not on hospice, call the police.

The last time I wondered about this very thing was this morning, and like magic, here you pop up with the simple answer. Can't thank you enough!

Check to see if the person is responsive - If not call 911 explain the person isn't being responsive - From there Paramedics & Police will be on its way. If the person no longer has pulse - then its pronounced deceased. From there county cororner will come by to pick up remains. Thats how I forsee it. What makes sad & hard if there was no pre-arranged things with funeral home & financial sources set in place.

Call the Undertaker!!!

I pray like hell i pass at home in my sleep. Instead if theee cancets killimg me.

My first instinct would be to call a doctor. A lay person does not have the expertise to "call" a death, even if it seems obvious. For example, a deep coma can resemble death-at least for a few hours. Secondly if the person is NOT yet dead, some painkillers may be necessary. Death is a process, and is rarely instantaneous, with obvious exceptions. Perhaps a paramedic or registered nurse could call the death, depending on the law in your jurisdiction. And it is in YOUR interest also. Occasionally people can deny the reality of death. So getting someone to confirm the death [probably a professional] is probably a good idea. And since death is a biological process, a doctor should come to mind first, IMHO. In any case, a doctor's diagnosis is helpful legally as well. It probably does not happen often, but weird twists can occur. Suppose a medical assessment gives the person six months to live, and they die within a week, and you inherit a fortune, and other family members are not happy with the will? This is just a hypothetical, it didn't happen to me. Once you obligation to the death of your loved one, with all the care that entails, you don't want to make things more untidy than they have to be. A coroner is a legal professional. They make findings on death based on evidence and professional testimony, such as medical professionals. It makes no sense to call a lawyer first thing, even if they are a coroner. They probably have more experience of death than a lay person, but most of it is forensics, not diagnostics.

My parents both died at home they prepaid there funerals , we called the undertaker, the doctor signed the death certificate no on else involved 😊

Open window and dont let the cat chew on him

To hell with the coroner. If someone died in my home, I would rent out the room.

Great info! I’m 53 but my Wife just turned 81. Must start having these conversations with her AGAIN..

My husband died at home in hospice. He was well taken care of and died in peace in his home. All I had to do was call where he was to be cremated & they took it from there. Very little stress.

Thank you maam, very simple, neccessary video. Some people actually DO NOT KNOW, what comes next. This is a priceless piece of information.

That's not how it works in my state.

My beautiful wife died at home from a ravaging cancer in my hospice care after 10 days on 11/22/20. At the time, I was home alone at 6:30 AM on a Saturday. I called our local funeral director to inform them. I then called Family Hospice, who sent a coroner's assistant /RN to confirm her death and to prepare the body for transport. Then I called family. Body was taken to funeral home where arrangements were made for her cremation, per her wishes, and the purchase of a vessel for her remains. This was all done within 6-8 hours total. Her remains were returned to me 2 days after on Monday. Funeral director took care of acquiring death certificates. No visitation at funeral home due to C-19 restrictions at that time. Had a memorial service at our church followed by a wake with 40 relatives and friends the following Saturday. I miss her so.

Why are you green? 🤣🤣

Thank you for that. Our Mom is 89 living with my two Sisters but we all take turns caring for her (5 daughters, including the grandkids) . Not sure when any of Us will pass on but if it’s her first I needed this info as we would definitely have called the police.

Clearly all the trolls have not had to deal with this. I knew my husband died in my arms but 911 was already on the phone and the police/EMT/ paramedics came. The police officers were wonderful and called the ME and the funeral home and stayed with me until the body was released and the funeral home could remove. Took about 3 hours in total.

How do you find the coroner in such a stressful moment? 911 will know what to do.

Senior Edge Legal has evidently never heard of hospice. In the states I worked in, the procedure for hospice patients who die at home is to call the hospice triage number (if there isn’t a hospice nurse at the home). Hospice agencies almost always have agreements with local coroners to allow a RN to assess for signs of death and record the time. When the family is ready, the nurse will call the family’s chosen funeral home to remove the remains. If there is reason to suspect any but expected cause of death, such as a fall with significant injury, the RN will notify the coroner, describe the circumstances, and get directions on how to proceed. A deputy may come to the home and remove the body, depending on circumstances.

Trash can

When grandpa died we just buried him in the backyard then hid his money in the kitchen 🤪

1. Check vitals 2. Call 911 3. Wait They get the ball rolling
