I was just curious. The death certificate (1979) gives place of death as
"Horley. On the way to Redhill General Hospital"
I presume the deceased was deemed to be dead on arrival at the hospital - but if the hospital diagnosed the death, how would they know that the death hadn't occurred before the journey started?
If the deceased was in an ambulance, are ambulance crew allowed to determine a death?
