The bill would require a full autopsy for any death that is criminal, sudden, suspicious, traumatic, unidentified, contagious, or occurring while in custody, without needing a court order. Autopsies must be done by qualified health or law‑enforcement officers, the results stay confidential, and cremation of such bodies is barred unless cleared by investigators. Violations could lead to up to one year in prison, a fine of up to ₱200,000, or both.
