A death certificate is made out when the death occurs and/or when the body is found and it is not always known what caused the death so that may be why there is nothing on the death certificate. Death certificates are proof of death. The autopsy report usually has the cause of death. jmo
Thanks LambChop. I always thought that the death certificate was as you described. I'm a bit baffled by the thought that the cause of death has to be stated in order to say that someone is dead.
