What Questions Must Be Answered By The Jury Of A Coroner's Inquest?
As opposed to a criminal trial, Inquests are not held to assign legal fault. They are conducted to determine the answers to the following five questions:
- Who was the deceased?
- How did the deceased come to their death?
- When did the deceased come to their death?
- Where did the deceased come to their death?
- By what means did the deceased come to their death?
