What is unattended death?

Unattended death is a situation where a person dies without anyone present or without immediate discovery. It typically means that the death occurred when the individual was alone at the time of passing away. The term "unattended" emphasizes the lack of immediate attention or presence of others at the time of death.

Unattended deaths can occur in various circumstances, such as at home, in a public place, or in a secluded area. They can be the result of natural causes, accidents, suicides, or homicides. In many cases, unattended deaths are discovered only after a significant amount of time has passed, which can complicate the investigation and the determination of the cause of death.
