Under the Coroners Act 1962, a Coroner is an independent office holder with responsibility under the law for the medico-legal investigation of the circumstances of sudden, unexplained, violent and unnatural deaths. Any details in relation to an inquest into a death and when the details of such an inquest will be received is a matter for the Coroner.
