Spanish term or phrase: muertes judiciales
Se puede concluir que el actual documento de CMD de la OMC dificulta para el médico asistencial la cumplimentación respecto al anterior al incorporar nuevos apartados que los clínicos no han sabido rellenar e implica una mayor necesidad de formación de los facultativos dada la trascendencia de este documento médico legal.
Algunos de los apartados resultan redundantes al preguntarse si se trata de una muerte accidental de manera adicional a la cumplimentación de una muerte violenta.
De hecho, si se considerase que se trata de una muerte violenta (suicida, homicida o accidental) el documento quedaría inmediatamente invalidado ya que no deben certificarse las muertes violentas por ser muertes judiciales.

A previous Proz discussion called this "officially pronounced deaths". I'd just like to confirm that "In fact, if the death is considered violent (suicide, homicide or accidental), the document is immediately invalidated because violent deaths must not be certified, given that they are officially pronounced deaths," seems correct to you all. It sounds a bit odd to me but might be the best option.

judicially investigated (approx. ENG Common Law: Coroner's Inquest) death/s
Explanation:
I am reposting my answer with a change of emphasis in deference to Charles D's worthy observation: '... Spain doesn't have coroners or inquests. An autopsy is conducted under the supervision of a judge.'

Anyway, this might be a legal rather than a medical - or, indeed, a hybrid medico-legal - question.

The answer should not, in any event, disregard the ringing echoes of the US-Am TV Coroner series of 'Quincy'.

The asker chose the answer with the highest confidence rating, but it was wrong in my opinion. 'Reported to a judicial authority' is correct.

2. The quest for a general permit
In February 2014 we conducted a pilot research project in Málaga, Castellón and
Valencia, in the southern and eastern coast of Spain. In Spain, a border death falls under
the category of “judicial death” (muerte judicial), which calls for a judicial investigation
(diligencia). Actors intervening in that process include: 1) the judicial commission, formed
by the judge, the secretary to the judge, and a coroner; 2) the judicial police, which helps
the judge in the investigation; and 3) Guardia Civil, which is not part of the judicial
