Sudden infant death syndrome/SIDS/is a syndrome marked by the symptoms of sudden and unexplained death of an apparently healthy baby.SIDS is a diagnosis of exclusion. It should only be applied to an infant whose death is sudden and unexpected, and remains unexplained after the performance of an adequate postmortem investigation including:an autopsy,investigation of the scene and circumstances of the death.

It's correct that DCF doesn't get involved in legal possession of a deceased. And a hospital is going to turn the remains over to the legal parent (next of kin).
