Privacy Question

[Guest guest]

Back when I was studying the privacy laws of HIPPA, I remember being taught (If

I remember correctly) that a decedent, HAD no privacy rights, as far as records

go. This question has NOTHING to do with EMS, but I wanted to ask it here, cause

I have a feeling someone here might have the answer. Is it possible.....legally,

....to obtain a friend's death certificate, showing the cause of death, when you

are not a relative? According to research, the actual death occurred in

Louisiana.
