§ 2108.266.
In the absence of an agreement entered into under section 2108.265 of the Revised Code establishing protocols and procedures governing the relations between a coroner and
a procurement organization, if the coroner intends to deny recovery of an organ for
transplantation or therapy from a decedent whose body is under the jurisdiction of
the coroner, the coroner or the coroner's designee, at the request of the procurement
organization, shall attend the removal procedure for the organ before making a final
determination not to allow the procurement organization to recover the organ. During the removal procedure, the coroner or the coroner's designee may allow recovery
by the procurement organization to proceed, or, if the coroner or the coroner's designee
reasonably believes that the organ may be involved in determining the decedent's cause
or manner of death or that the organ or the decedent's intact body is needed for law
enforcement purposes, deny recovery by the procurement organization. A coroner may designate another coroner or employees of another coroner's office to
act on the coroner's behalf under this section.
