Police can RECOGNIZE death BUT they cannot DECLARE death or time of death. When police find a deceased person, they call the County Coroner / Medical Examiner. That official comes to the scene and does a prelim examination including liver temperature, which can help gauge time of death along with rigor. The coroner estimates the time of death. After the police take pictures, collect evidence, etc., the body is transported to the coroner's office for autopsy.
