On my first aid course, we were told that we were not doctors, we wouldn't be doctors if we passed this course, and only doctors could certify death.
We would not be qualified to certify death even in cases of incineration, decapitation, or partial decomposition.

@davidtheeviloverlord@mastodon.social @digitalraven@retro.pizza Years ago there was one of those “fly-on-the-wall” TV programs following the workers on a UK railway. They had a case of a “person on the tracks”, i.e., suicide, with a black comic moment where the station manager was calling for a doctor to certify death and one of the workers is saying “but his head's come off”.
