I presume you are on about a coroners inquest. If so it means they dont know the cause of death but it can be reopened sometime in the future.

Open verdict:
>decision of coroner's court: in a coroner's court, the verdict given when the cause of death is not clear and no charge of murder or manslaughter can therefore be brought

"is the verdict passed by a coroner when unable to decide why a person has died, such as when someone dies in suspicious circumstances or when it is unclear as to whether someone has committed suicide or not."
