A Coroner’s Inquest is an inquiry into the manner and cause of an individual’s death. The purpose of an inquest is to present information concerning the victim’s death in order for the jury to determine the cause and manner of a death. Generally, inquests are only conducted upon deaths which are suspicious, due to violence, involving law enforcement officials, or of persons held in state custody. The cause of death is often readily apparent and obvious, based on the facts, circumstances, medical evidence and in some cases, toxicology and autopsy results. The real essence of the inquest’s responsibility is to establish the manner of death (accident, homicide, natural, suicide or undetermined).
