An Inquest without a post-mortem examination

In some cases, the Coroner decides that an Inquest to look into the circumstances of the death is necessary but a post-mortem examination is not.

For example, the death of a person with industrial disease diagnosed in their lifetime. This is case dependent and if appropriate the Coroner’s Officer will talk through this process with you.
