If on Hospice, the Nurse comes and pronounces. They then call the Funeral Home.
My GF died in her sleep. 911 was called. The police responded but had to wait for the Coroners findings. Coroner found no fowl play so the Funeral home was called. Now my ex, he was found dead and the Coroner did an autopsy. Same Township. I think that was done because person who found him didn't know his medical history. If he had, he would have known that ex had CHF and probably died of a heart attack. There is something about being under a doctors care.
I have never heard of calling your doctor and having him or one of his employees pronounce death. But our Community has Visiting Nurses who can be called in to do this and have.
Make sure and have a crematorium picked out and have the number handy, you will provide this information to the emergency responders.
