GP Confirmed Death at Home by Videocall

When DH died in hospital we all knew it was imminent and I knew the instant he'd gone. I sat with him for a while before ringing the bell. A doctor came in and asked if I wanted to leave while he confirmed the death. I said no because I wanted to see what he did. He listened to his chest, shone a light in his eyes and shouted in his ear. Not much more advanced than me really.
