That's what I think too. I think this was the PDs way of telling everyone that NP is FOS
You can still have a body go to the ME and do organ donation prior.
Here is one such program:
Medical Examiners & Coroners | Gift of Life Donor Program
Gift of Life Donor Program works closely with Medical Examiners and Coroners throughout the region to ensure successful outcomes for all organ and tissue donor cases while supporting the forensic needs of an investigation. That collaboration in order to honor the wishes of an individual and their family to donate represents the national best practice according to the National Association of Medical Examiners.
When a Medical Examiner or Coroner takes jurisdiction of a case, Gift of Life Donor Program will contact their office to obtain approval for the donation and to ensure that all medical and forensic requirements are met. Gift of Life also provides any requested support to the investigation including available medical records, test results and even arranging for the presence of a forensic pathologist at the recovery procedure. Effective collaboration ensures that there is never a reason for a Medical Examiner or Coroner to turn down a donation opportunity. In fact, the National Association of Medical Examiners has stated that “zero denials” should be the goal of every jurisdiction.
Medical Examiners and Coroners also serve a critical role in honoring the wishes of individuals who die outside of a hospital to be tissue donors. In these situations Gift of Life Donor Program may not be notified of the case, but a referral from a Medical Examiner or Coroner can ensure every family possible is offered the donation option.
Organ Procurement – What’s your responsibility? :
In many cases, MEs/Cs are accountable for the recognition and collection of critical medical evidence and for the reconstruction of how the injury occurred. Some situations that require investigation include: (1) sudden death of an individual who was in apparent good health, (2) deaths by violence, (3) homicides or suicides, (4) accidental or industrial deaths, and (5) death of patients hospitalized less than 24 hours.
Good working relationships between organ and tissue recovery agencies and their local MEs/Cs can positively influence the donation process across the country and can decrease the organ shortage that affects thousands of people each day.
