THERE are various reasons why a death may have to be reported to the Coroner by a Doctor or by the Police.

The Coroner's duty is to establish the medical cause of death when, for whatever reason, a Doctor is unable to certify.

If this is the case, relatives will be kept informed by the Coroner's Office and also when they attend at the Registrar's Office.
