Could you please tell me the difference between "announce the death of sb." and "declare sb. dead"? Thank you!
Top answer
A newspaper article announces the death of someone, while a medical examiner will declare someone dead, perhaps after an autopsy. A judge may do the same thing if dealing with a person who has been missing for a certain period of time.

CliveI would hope that a person would be declared dead before an autopsy!Right! The coroner would announce the cause of death - but not prematurely. Thanks for catching that, Clive.
