Death cases are reported to the Medical Examiner's Office by coroners, deputy coroners, and law enforcement.

The FARS is a nationwide census of annual data regarding fatal injuries suffered in motor vehicle traffic crashes. It is a public service of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In order for a crash to be included in FARS, a crash must result in the death of the motorist or non-motorist within 30 days of the crash. Crash data is retrieved from a variety of state documents, including but not limited to police accident reports, death certificates, state registration files, and coroner/medical examiner's reports.
