A pacemaker implanted patient (female, 78 years old) was found dead in her bed and judicially autopsied. Before postmortem inspection the pacemaker was removed by a doctor. We report the problems in such as the doctor's treatment, additionally accommodation of medical examiners and police, and determination of a cause of death in autopsy.
