AbstractDeath can often be distressing but when it occurs in the Accident and Emergency (A & E) department it is often accompanied by the involvement of police and the coroner. It is essential that nurses have a sound understanding of the legal situation, so that they can advise relatives appropriately and so that they know clearly the appropriate practice and procedures to prevent further difficulties. This article seeks to set down some of the basic principles and looks at some situations which can cause anxiety to nursing staff.
