Code 45 indicates which situation?

Code 45 indicates which situation?

• A. DOA/ dead body found
• B. Bomb or explosive alert
• C. Medical detail
• D. Explosion

Answer: (A)

Code 45 signals that a dead body has been found. This directs responders to treat the scene as potentially crime-related, secure the area to prevent disturbance, avoid moving the body, and contact the medical examiner to determine cause and time of death. It also prompts collecting essential details (location, time of discovery, condition of the scene) and coordinating with investigators. The other options describe different situations (bomb/explosive, medical details, or an explosion) and do not match the scenario of a deceased person, which is why this code is the correct one.
