Any product of gestation of less than 20 weeks duration of pregnancy, showing no evidence of life, may have a fetal death certificate prepared, filed, recorded, and registered as required above, at the option of the parents or others concerned; such certificate is not mandatory for fetal deaths with a duration of pregnancy of less than 20 weeks. However, this regulation does not release anyone from the duty of reporting any suspicion of foul play or illegal act; nor does it except such cases from any existing burial requirements or restrictions, or other health requirements, either state or local.
