Oh.. I think it depends on how does a person dies.
Let's say if a robber dies under the police gun fire, then this case will need a police report
& doctor anatomy report for the Births & Deaths Registration department to issue a death certificate.
If a person dies in a hospital because of sickness, then the doctor will write a report
for the Births & Deaths RegistrationBirths & Deaths Registration department to issue a death certificate.
No, banks do not have any online network to link to the police department yet..
Oh Captain.. since the release of your latest Fiction Novel ebook, then banks will act faster to request to link to the Births & Deaths Registration department..

Even a person passed away at home, have to call the ambulance to have the medical officer certified passed away. Make a police report and police will drop by to check and confirmed there is no foul play like bruises or cut on the body. After all these then only can go and get the death cert.
Bank does not need to have on line with police on checking a person is alive or not. The record is with the Jabatan Pengdaftaran Negara. In future bank will link up with JPN. 5 years FD is a long time and nobody will know the policy change
