noted where applicable.]
A.
In the case of a death, where the remains of the decedent are in
a place open to the public view, such remains shall be removed and
stored as expeditiously as possible in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations of the State of New Jersey and the City of Trenton;
B.
Once all necessary and mandatory action has been taken at the scene
with respect to a decedent's remains, the Health Officer or Trenton
Police Department is hereby directed and empowered to immediately
take all steps necessary to have said remains removed and stored in
accordance with applicable law;
C.
In the event of a law enforcement response and investigation of an
incident involving human remains, the scene shall be secured by the

deemed to interfere with or hamper such investigation. In such cases,
the appropriate prosecutorial authority shall determine the time and
manner in which said remains will be removed and stored.
