Answer:

D. A medical examiner

Step-by-step explanation:

The basis for an investigation of the cause of death is the information on the death certificate. If the deceased was not under a doctor's care during his/her latest illness, or if the death was caused by a crime, accident, poisoning, occupational disease, atypical circunstancies or medical treatment or there is cause to suspect that the death was caused by such a reason, a medical examination is necessary to reveal the cause and hour of death. This professional is responsible for signing the death certificate attesting the this informations.
