Coroner

A coroner is an official responsible for determining the cause of a person's death when it’s sudden, unexplained, or under suspicious circumstances. They conduct investigations, which may include examining the body, reviewing medical records, and collecting evidence. Coroners often work with medical examiners or pathologists to establish whether the death was natural, accidental, or resulted from other factors. Their findings help inform legal proceedings, public health data, and family closure, ensuring thorough and impartial oversight in unexplained death cases.
