A person required to report cases of known or suspected abuse or neglect who knows or has
reasonable cause to suspect that an adult has died as a result of abuse or neglect shall report that fact to
the appropriate authority as provided in section 3026. An adult may not be considered to be abused or
neglected solely because the adult was provided with treatment by spiritual means by an accredited
practitioner of a recognized religious organization. [RR 2021, c. 2, Pt. B, §173 (COR).]
