Ladies and gentlemen,
The Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) is aware of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the autopsy service. For this reason, we are sending you the following guidelines to help you manage requests in this regard.
-If the presumed cause of death is COVID-19 (with or without a positive test), an autopsy should be avoided and death should be attributed to COVID-19 as the probable cause. In addition, deaths with a probable cause of death attributable to COVID-19 are considered natural and are not subject to coroner’s notification.
-The law respecting research into the causes and circumstances of death (RLRQ, chapter R-0.2) applies and autopsies requested by a coroner in persons without suspected or confirmed COVID-19 are continued in the health and social services institutions that normally provide this service.
-The MSSS designates two centres to perform autopsies on persons suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19, whose presumed cause of death is not COVID-19:
–Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM);
–University Institute of Cardiology and Pneumology of Quebec City – Laval University (IUCPQ – UL)
