Yes, the report stating that the patient died on January 15 could be considered an example of hearsay if it is presented in court to prove the truth of the matter asserted (i.e., that the patient actually died on that date). Hearsay involves statements made outside of court that are offered as evidence of the truth of the information contained within them. However, if the report is an official document or record that falls under an exception to the hearsay rule, it may be admissible as evidence.

Can a hearsay police report unsigned and uncertified be used to suspend a California drivers license?

I can clarify the first part of your question, in that a "police report unsigned and uncertified" may or may not be admissible in court based on hearsay rules. (Whether or not the suspension takes place through a court is a secondary question.) The basic rule is that hearsay is not admissible. Hearsay, in general, is when I tell what Joe said. I am present to be questioned; Joe is not. The evidence of what Joe said is offered to prove the truth of what Joe said. (If it is offered to prove that Joe was not mute and was capable of speech, it's not hearsay.)The police report, as a written document apparently being offered to prove the truth of what is written therein, is hearsay. The next question is whether it falls into any of the MANY exceptions to the hearsay rule. Local rules can allow hearsay to be used in specific circumstances, sometimes with advance notice required or with a showing of necessity. The basic rules of hearsay would allow an exception for records kept in the regular course of business, made at a time relatively contemporaneous with the event recorded, and maintained in the custody of someone whose job includes maintaining business records.Keep in mind also that someone with legal standing must object to the use of certain evidence in order for the court to consider hearsay questions. And sometimes, even judges need a reminder of all the details of hearsay...------------Short answer: Not really enough information is given in the question in order to answer. HOWEVER - most traffic violations are misdemeanors which (legally) must occur in the opfficer's presence in order to be proecuted.
