If we haven't seen the patient in the two weeks before their death, or if they have died after being discharged from hospital, then we must report it to the coroner, who may request a postmortem. If we have had contact with a patient in the previous two weeks and know the cause of death - if someone has been terminally ill, say - we can sign the death certificate immediately.
The Undertaker was photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.When you die, you have to have your death certified by a doctor and a death certificate or a cremation certificate issued. As with vultures, marabou storks perform an important natural function by cleaning areas via their ingestion of carrion and waste. When feeding on carrion, marabou frequently follow vultures, which are better equipped with hooked bills for tearing through carrion meat and may wait for the vultures to cast aside a piece, steal a piece of meat directly from the vulture or wait until the vultures are done. In both cases, a feathered head would become rapidly clotted with blood and other substances when the bird's head was inside a large corpse, and the bare head is easier to keep clean. The marabou stork is a frequent scavenger, and the naked head and long neck are adaptations to this livelihood, as it is with the vultures with which the stork often feeds. It is sometimes called the "undertaker bird" due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of "hair". It breeds in Africa south of the Sahara, in both wet and arid habitats, often near human habitation, especially landfill sites. The Marabou Stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae.
