Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a coronial inquest?
A coronial inquest is a court hearing where the Coroner examines evidence to identify the deceased, along with the date, place, manner, and cause of death. Witnesses may be called to testify regarding their knowledge of the circumstances.
If you wish, you can request an inquest in writing, though the Coroner will ultimately decide whether to proceed with it. In most instances, inquests are open to the public, but the Coroner may sometimes close the court or restrict certain information from publication.
At the conclusion of the inquest, the Coroner issues a ‘finding’ — a separate document from the post-mortem report. Findings range from a single page to several pages, depending on the complexity of the case. The finding is then sent to the senior next of kin and other parties as specified by the Coroner.
