		More recently, death certificates for those who perished in the September 11, 2001 attacks were issued by the State of New York within days of the tragedy.

		Death in absentia describes a legal finding of death if a person has been missing for more than a certain period of time.
		Generally speaking, if a person is missing, evidence can be presented in court of circumstances that would lead the court to believe the person was deceased on the balance of probabilities.
		At some point in the future, usually set by statute (although the common law set the period of time at seven years), the person is presumed to be dead if there is no evidence to the contrary.
