What does a Coroner do?
A Coroner’s primary role is to determine the cause and manner of death in all homicides, suicides, accidents, and undetermined deaths that occur in their jurisdiction. Additionally, a Coroner can be called upon to investigate and determine the cause and manner of death in natural cases, as needed.
The coroner is responsible for locating legal next of kin and making that initial notification of death. The coroner is also responsible for protecting the personal property of the deceased until the legal next of kin can be located.
