Scope and Content Note
This series was compiled by morgue personnel to document deaths. The information varies over time but typically includes date, patient number, building, names of attendants transporting body to the morgue, name of person giving religious rites, person identifying deceased, and name of person or funeral home removing body.
The volume for 1982-1995 provides the following information relating to patient deaths: date, name of patient, case number, place of death, autopsy if any, and place of burial. Later entries list funeral homes. Entries are color coded to denote inpatients, outpatients, and patients in family care.
