Faster fuller investigations after sudden child deaths
Beginning November 1, 2026, the medical examiner must investigate a sudden, unexpected infant or child death within 48 hours. The investigation includes an autopsy if needed, microscopic and toxicology tests, a check of medical and immunization records, and an interview with the parent, guardian, or last caregiver. The examiner must note any vaccines or emergency countermeasures given in the 90 days before death. The case must be reported to the SUID and SDY Case Registry and sent to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The Health Department keeps a copy of each report to improve data and policy.
Investigations for sudden arrhythmic deaths
Beginning November 1, 2026, if sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) is suspected at any age, the medical examiner must investigate. The examiner may order an autopsy and must do microscopic and toxicology tests and review medical and immunization records. The examiner must note any immunizations in the 90 days before death. If the person was under 20, the case must go to the SUID and SDY Case Registry and to the State Health Department.
Parents get notice and consent rights
Beginning November 1, 2026, the medical examiner must tell a parent or legal guardian before investigating a deceased infant or child. The parent or guardian has the right to refuse consent to any part of the investigation. They cannot refuse if the examiner suspects a crime or if state law otherwise requires the investigation.
