How do you tell someone their family died?
Talk slowly and gently using plain, simple language. Warning the person that you have bad news may mean that they’re less shocked. It is usually clearer to say that someone has died than to use euphemisms such as ‘gone to sleep’ or ‘gone away’.
How long does it take to find out cause of death?
The exam usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Many times, experts can figure out the cause of death in that time. But in other cases, you might have to wait until a lab can do more tests to look for signs of drugs, poisons, or disease. That can take several days or weeks.
