When death occurs on a moving conveyance within the United States and the body is first removed from the conveyance in this state, the death shall be registered in the state, and the place where it is first removed shall be considered the place of death. When a death occurs on a moving conveyance while in international waters or airspace, or in a foreign country, and the body is first removed from the conveyance in this state, the death shall be registered in this state but the certificate shall show the actual place of death insofar as can be determined. If the death affects the public interest, the medical examiner of the county in which the conveyance stops and death is pronounced shall be notified promptly by any person having knowledge or suspicion of such a death. All other registration procedures as provided in these regulations shall apply.
