What happens if the deceased wished to be an organ donor?
If the deceased wished to be an organ donor than the next-of-kin would need to seek advice from the hospital or from the local Transplant Co-ordinator, who will be able to discuss the options for donation in more detail. The coroner will then be consulted for any case which has been or is likely to be referred to him or her, and the coroner must agree before a donation can take place. These decisions are usually made very quickly.
