You know they only send questionable causes of death to the medical examiner. Quincy doesn't go around doing an autopsy on people just because they died.no it's like if you have cancer but stick a fork in a electrical socket and die they classify that has electrical shock death
With COVID 19 IF YOU TEST POSITIVE AND COMMIT SUICIDE THEY COUNT THAT AS COVID RELATED
So somebody given to the medical examiner is saying they don't know what killed them. And somebody from a car crash, or run over by a truck, or getting shot, or having a piano dropped on them, wouldn't be sent to the medical examiner.
