A lecture by Professor Peter Thornton:
When death occurs the state has a duty to investigate. This lecture explains what coroners 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.
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.
We will head to a nearby pub afterwards for a drink and chat.
