Death abroad is one of the cases for exclusion from post-mortem donation as given in art. 3 of Presidential Decree no. 47,10 February 2023.

This is because the distances and the particular procedures involved in international funeral transportation would be unlikely to permit the body’s arrival at the Centre within the time limit, fixed by law, of seven days after death (art. 3, paragraph 2, letter b of Presidential Decree no. 47,10 February 2023).
