This book bridges the divide between traditional legal texts dealing with the office and jurisdiction of the coroner, and those forensic medical and scientific texts dealing with the technical aspects of death investigation. It provides a comprehensive overview of the legal, technical, scientific, and medical features surrounding the investigations carried out by coroners.
