The county medical examiner within twenty-four hours or one working day, whichever occurs first, shall notify the department when a child dies in any county of the State:

1. (1) as a result of violence, when unattended by a physician, and in any suspicious or unusual manner; or

2. (2) when the death is unexpected and unexplained including, but not limited to, possible sudden infant death syndrome.

   For the purposes of this section, a child is not considered to be "unattended by a physician" when a physician has, before death, provided diagnosis and treatment following a fatal injury.
