(2) Death scene investigations and findings thereof can be particularly important in accurately diagnosing the manners and causes of infant deaths. (3) Collecting accurate data on the cause and manner of unexpected infant deaths will better enable the state to protect infants from preventable deaths and will help reduce the incidence of infant deaths.
