383E.45 BODIES; EFFECTS; CUSTODY.
A person may not remove, interfere with, or handle the body or the effects of any person
subject to an investigation by the county coroner except upon order of the coroner or deputy
coroner. The coroner shall take charge of the effects found on the body of a deceased person and
dispose of them as the probate court directs by written order. If a crime in connection with the
death of a deceased person is suspected, the coroner may prevent any person from entering the
premises, rooms, or buildings, and shall have the custody of objects that the coroner deems
material evidence in the case. A willful violation of this section is a misdemeanor.
