garnishing order, a summons, seizure of personal property or property liens.
Chief Medical Examiner
The Chief Medical Examiner (CME) investigates all unexpected, unexplained and violent deaths in Manitoba.
If your loved one has died suddenly and you have been contacted by the CME, this site will help you to
understand the procedures followed before and after an inquiry or investigation.
