Minnesota Statutes, sections 383B.225 and 390.23, requires a Coroner or Medical Examiner to provide the cause of death when the manner of death is not natural (e.g., accident, homicide, suicide, pending investigation). MN VRV2000 has been enhanced to require the user to select only a medical examiner, coroner, or their designee to provide cause of death when the manner of death is not natural. The drop-down list will show only those that have been designated as medical examiners or coroners and will be sorted by county. The drop-down list will show physicians when the manner of death is natural or the manner of death is not known.
