The UK's top 10 most ridiculous British laws were listed as:
# 1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27%)
AIUI, a person is not dead until a qualified medical practioner
certifies death. If a person collapsed in the House and a doctor
attended and said "it's too late , s/he's dead", would that doctor be
aiding an offence?

My understanding is that it's the certification that's not allowed,
rather than the dying. Something about people who die in the HoP being
entitled to some special funeral arrangements or something, so only
the royals get to do it.

That makes a bit more sense. Just drag the corpse, er I mean "person in
need of urgent medical attention", outside and certify him/her dead
there. ;-)
