Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Coroner to be notified; violation.

Every law enforcement official, funeral director, ambulance attendant,
hospital director or administrator or person having custody of the body of
a deceased person, where the death is one subject to investigation under
Section 3-3013, and any physician in attendance upon such a
decedent at the time of his death, shall notify the coroner promptly. Any
such person failing to so notify the coroner promptly shall be guilty of a
