Title 7 . Health and Social Services

Section 865. Presumptive death

7 AAC 05.865. Presumptive death

In the case of death where a body can be reasonably established - that is, where acceptable evidence shows that one or more witnesses saw and identified such body after death - the regular death certificate and procedures shall be used. When no body can be established, presumptive death procedures shall apply. If such presumption of death is established, a presumptive death certificate shall be filed with the recording magistrate of the recording district within which such death was presumed to occur. The presumptive death certificate form shall be prescribed by the bureau, and contain such information as may be required by the State Registrar. After being recorded, the original certificate shall be forwarded to the bureau for registration at the same time, and in the same manner, as other certificates are transmitted. Pertinent new information obtained later by the court shall also be transmitted to the bureau, so that the presumptive death certificate may be corrected if necessary; or removed and a regular death certificate substituted in case the body is later recovered; or removed entirely if the person is found to be alive.
