A person licensed under section 3711.02 of the Revised Code, immediately after the death of an inmate of the boardinghouse or lying-in hospital, whether a woman or an infant born therein or brought thereto, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the board of health of the city health district or of the general health district in which such house or hospital is located.

Such board shall forthwith call the coroner of the county in which said person died to hold an inquest on the body of the person, unless a certificate under the hand of a qualified physician is exhibited to said board by the licensee, showing that such physician had personally attended and examined such person, and specifying the cause of death, and unless the board is satisfied that there is no ground for holding an inquest.
