11. After you die

A doctor will write a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death form after you have died.

This is a form that explains how you have died.

For example, it will say if you died from voluntary assisted dying.

It will also include the illness or medical condition that made you eligible for voluntary assisted dying.

This form is not your death certificate.

A death certificate is a legal document that includes information about why a person died.

Your death certificate will not include information about how you died from voluntary assisted dying.
