This usually involves a post-mortem examination, followed by an inquest if the cause of death is not natural.
The coroner will also investigate the death of a person in custody or a death resulting from a person's occupation.
In this area, the coroner is appointed by a consortium of four boroughs – Southwark, Lambeth, Greenwich and Lewisham.
