Introduction<\/h2>\n

Failure to report death is usually illegal in Arizona. The law states that any person who knows that a human being (or fetus) passed away under certain circumstances is required to report it. They must provide all of the information they know related to the death of that person, to the nearest peace officer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to know which circumstances require reporting, so that you can follow the law accordingly. Failing to report death is a misdemeanor offense in Arizona and comes with serious penalties. If you\u2019ve been in legal trouble with failing to report certain deaths, an attorney can help answer your questions.<\/p>\n
