A lecture by Peter Thornton

When death occurs, the state has a duty to investigate. Every death must be registered locally with a cause of death. And now, more than any other country, all deaths are double-checked, with coroners having a significant role in over 30% of them, explaining the unexplained and reporting to prevent future deaths.

This lecture explains -

-who are coroners and what they do
-when an inquest must take place
-how coroners arrive at a just conclusion and
-the benefit to the health and welfare of the nation in death investigation
