• 2022 Ohio 3399

Syllabus

Disclosure of a decedent's name and address, along with the cause of the decedent's death, would reveal the decedent's past physical health status or condition, as well as the identity of the individual. Consequently, the Ohio Department of Health properly refused to respond to a public-records request for a digital spreadsheet copy of the Electronic Death Reporting System pursuant to the exception in R.C. 3701.17(B).
