China emigrated to Canada and died. What should I do? Could I have handled it then?

(1) Consular officials or relatives and friends can know the cause of death and relics (wills) of family members, and assist in applying to local authorities for obtaining death certificates and other supporting documents. China's local embassy or consulate can apply for consular certification for the above documents. Consular officials cannot investigate the cause of death. If there is any doubt about the cause of death, you can hire a local lawyer to ask the local judicial department to make a reasonable explanation or re-investigate; You can also ask consular officials to help convey your written opinions to the relevant departments of the local government, ask them to pay attention to your opinions, or convey your opinions to the local judicial organs.

(2) If the death involves a criminal case and a lawsuit has been filed in the local area, a lawyer should be hired to closely follow up the trial. At the same time, consular officials can be invited to help pay attention to the case and attend the trial as permitted by local laws. If you are not satisfied with the trial or judgment, you can ask a lawyer to help you appeal, or you can convey your opinion to the local government with the assistance of consular officials. However, consular officials cannot investigate cases or appear in court instead of you.
