Make it a specific criminal offence not to notify the authorities of a death

Petition Details

I would like it to become a specific criminal offence to not report a dead body or a death if you are in the company of said individual when they pass or if you are aware of one.

Additional Information

Clear laws must require anyone aware of a death to notify authorities immediately, with serious consequences for neglect or deception, to protect the vulnerable and ensure dignity in death.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
