1 found, or lying within his county, whose death is suspected of

3         (a) A sudden or violent death, whether apparently
4     suicidal, homicidal or accidental, including but not

22 circumstances of the death. In the case of death without
23 attendance by a licensed physician the body may be moved with
24 the coroner's consent from the place of death to a mortuary in
25 the same county. Coroners in their discretion shall notify such
26 physician as is designated in accordance with Section 3-3014 to

 

 

HB0333 - 6 - LRB096 03203 DRJ 13220 b

1 attempt to ascertain the cause of death, either by autopsy or
2 otherwise.
3     In connection with an investigation under this Division,
4 the coroner may take possession of prescription drugs and
5 controlled substances associated or identified with a person
6 whose death is being investigated. The coroner shall inventory
7 the prescription drugs and controlled substances taken during
8 an investigation. The coroner shall prepare and maintain a
9 record of the disposition of the prescription drugs and
10 controlled substances. If the prescription drugs and
11 controlled substances will be disposed of by the coroner, then
12 the coroner shall dispose of the prescription drugs and
13 controlled substances by a safe and environmentally sound
14 method. For the purpose of this paragraph, "prescription drug"
15 has the meaning set forth under Section 2.37 of the Illinois
16 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. For the purpose of this paragraph,
17 "controlled substance" has the meaning set forth under
18 subsection (f) of Section 102 of the Illinois Controlled
19 Substances Act. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
20 authorize or require a coroner to take actions that would
21 interfere with a criminal investigation or prosecution.
22     In cases of accidental death involving a motor vehicle in
23 which the decedent was (1) the operator or a suspected operator
24 of a motor vehicle, or (2) a pedestrian 16 years of age or
25 older, the coroner shall require that a blood specimen of at
26 least 30 cc., and if medically possible a urine specimen of at

 

 

HB0333 - 7 - LRB096 03203 DRJ 13220 b

1 least 30 cc. or as much as possible up to 30 cc., be withdrawn
2 from the body of the decedent in a timely fashion after the
3 accident causing his death, by such physician as has been
4 designated in accordance with Section 3-3014, or by the coroner
5 or deputy coroner or a qualified person designated by such
6 physician, coroner, or deputy coroner. If the county does not
7 maintain laboratory facilities for making such analysis, the
8 blood and urine so drawn shall be sent to the Department of
9 State Police or any other accredited or State-certified
10 laboratory for analysis of the alcohol, carbon monoxide, and
11 dangerous or narcotic drug content of such blood and urine
12 specimens. Each specimen submitted shall be accompanied by
13 pertinent information concerning the decedent upon a form
14 prescribed by such laboratory. Any person drawing blood and
15 urine and any person making any examination of the blood and
16 urine under the terms of this Division shall be immune from all
17 liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred
18 or imposed.
19     In all other cases coming within the jurisdiction of the
20 coroner and referred to in subparagraphs (a) through (e) above,
21 blood, and whenever possible, urine samples shall be analyzed
22 for the presence of alcohol and other drugs. When the coroner
23 suspects that drugs may have been involved in the death, either
24 directly or indirectly, a toxicological examination shall be
25 performed which may include analyses of blood, urine, bile,
26 gastric contents and other tissues. When the coroner suspects a

 

 

HB0333 - 8 - LRB096 03203 DRJ 13220 b

1 death is due to toxic substances, other than drugs, the coroner
2 shall consult with the toxicologist prior to collection of
3 samples. Information submitted to the toxicologist shall
4 include information as to height, weight, age, sex and race of
5 the decedent as well as medical history, medications used by
6 and the manner of death of decedent.
7     When the coroner or medical examiner finds that the cause
8 of death is due to homicidal means, the coroner or medical
9 examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
10 submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
11 obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of
12 the decedent in a timely fashion. Within 45 days after the
13 collection of the specimens, the coroner or medical examiner
14 shall deliver those specimens, dried, to the Illinois
15 Department of State Police, Division of Forensic Services, for
16 analysis and categorizing into genetic marker groupings to be
17 maintained by the Illinois Department of State Police in the
18 State central repository in the same manner, and subject to the
19 same conditions, as provided in Section 5-4-3 of the Unified
20 Code of Corrections. The requirements of this paragraph are in
21 addition to any other findings, specimens, or information that
22 the coroner or medical examiner is required to provide during
23 the conduct of a criminal investigation.
24     In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide, or
25 accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion of
26 the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age

 

 

HB0333 - 9 - LRB096 03203 DRJ 13220 b

1 from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The
2 summons shall command these persons to present themselves
3 personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
4 determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
5 determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
6 for acknowledgement which the coroner deems practical and
7 provides a reliable proof of service. The summons may be served
8 by first class mail. From the 8 persons so summoned, the
9 coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
10 Inquests may be continued from time to time, as the coroner may
11 deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a given case may view
12 the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an inquest
13 one or more of the original jurors shall be unable to continue
14 to serve, the coroner shall fill the vacancy or vacancies. A
15 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph shall receive
16 compensation from the county at the same rate as the rate of
17 compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in the
18 county. The coroner shall furnish to each juror without fee at
19 the time of his discharge a certificate of the number of days
20 in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being presented with
21 such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay to the juror
22 the sum provided for his services.
23     In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
24 apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
25 coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall
26 provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner

 

 

HB0333 - 10 - LRB096 03203 DRJ 13220 b

1 shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
2 Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
3 deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case
4 may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an
5 inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be
6 unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill the vacancy
7 or vacancies. At the coroner's discretion, additional jurors to
8 fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury commission. A
9 juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such county shall
10 receive compensation from the county at the same rate as the
11 rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in
12 the county.
13     In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
14 determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
15 shall report the death to the Department of State Police.
16     All deaths in State institutions and all deaths of wards of
17 the State in private care facilities or in programs funded by
18 the Department of Human Services under its powers relating to
19 mental health and developmental disabilities or alcoholism and
20 substance abuse or funded by the Department of Children and
21 Family Services shall be reported to the coroner of the county
22 in which the facility is located. If the coroner has reason to
23 believe that an investigation is needed to determine whether
24 the death was caused by maltreatment or negligent care of the
25 ward of the State, the coroner may conduct a preliminary
26 investigation of the circumstances of such death as in cases of

 

 

HB0333 - 11 - LRB096 03203 DRJ 13220 b

1 death under circumstances set forth in paragraphs (a) through
