|
|
Their duties and responsibilities are now governed in the main by the Coroners
|
|
Act 1988. It is important that a Coroner, either himself or through a Deputy,
|
|
should be ready to undertake his duties at all times. A Coroner is assisted
|
|
by his Officers, who may be civilians or police officers.</i></p><hr/><p> The main duty of a Coroner is to enquire into sudden or unexplained deaths
|
|
usually by having a post-mortem examination made, followed by an inquest if
|
|
the cause of death is not natural. In addition to this there are specific requirements
|
|
to investigate deaths in certain circumstances, for example, the death of a
|
|
person in custody, or a death resulting from a person's occupation. </p><p> Coroners are appointed by the Council on a part-time basis. Their
|
|
work involves the holding of inquests, arranging for post mortems to be carried
|
|
out and employing any other services, such as Funeral Directors, as may be
|
|
necessary. Coroners are required by law to be qualified as a Barrister, Solicitor
|
|
or legally qualified Medical Practitioner of not less than five years standing.
|
|
The Coroners are appointed by the Director of Property, Business and Regulatory
|
|
Services.</p><p>Please visit
