Deputy Ombudsman Maija Sakslin criticizes the activities of the Pori Hospital and the police in the event of death.
The child of a man who died at the emergency room learned of his father’s death from the property manager in more than a month.
Satakunta’s well-being area and the Southwest Finland Police Department have promised to remedy their policies.
Lawyer He criticizes the activities of the Pori Sata Hospital and the police in the case where the child of a man who died at the emergency room only learned of his death from an outside party more than a month later.
According to the child, he learned about his father’s death from the property manager of this rent. The property manager had called the child to inquire what his father’s apartment was doing.
At this point, the deceased had been retained in the hospital refrigerator for more than a month.
According to the Deputy Ombudsman’s announcement, the hundred hospital had reported the death to the police in seven days. Due to this delay, the police had assumed that the deceased’s relatives had also been reported, but did not make sure.
Lawyer Maija Sakslin According to the police, the police did not act properly. The police should have made sure that death was reported or taken care of by the death, as the police was responsible for investigating the cause of death.
Sakslin also considers it unreasonable that the hundred hospital reported the death to the police until seven days later. The hospital had a special responsibility to determine whether the deceased had relatives and to ensure that death was reported.
Satakunta The welfare area has announced that it has taken corrective measures due to the complaint. The Southwest Finland Police Department also stated in a statement to the Deputy Ombudsman that in the future, the police, together with the hospital, should confirm that the death has been reported to the relatives and that it is recorded in the investigation notice.
Because of these actions, Sakslin considered it sufficient for information on the wrong procedure to be brought to the attention of the police department and the welfare area and does not result in sanctions.
