Question

the coroner or coroners jury??????????????

Answer 1

The coroner (or medical examiner) does the medical examination of the body to determine the cause of death.
The police investigate the circumstances thereof.

The one with the final say on natural causes or not (barring the obvious knife-through-the throat or bullet-to-the-head) is the coroner. And the coroner is the one who determines the formal cause of death and issues the report that lists the specific cause.

Answer 2

Coroner

Answer 3

The coroner is charged with determining whether death is due to natural causes. In some circumstances the medical examiner, often a separate office, becomes involved, depending on state law. The coroner may use information from the police, the sheriff's office, family members, hospitals, and others in making his determination.

Answer 4

The coroner. A coroner's investigator goes to the crime scene usually and does a preliminary investigation. Later a deputy medical examiner (a pathologist) performs an autopsy and renders an opinion about the cause of death. The purpose of a coroner's jury is to determine whether the death is the result of the act or acts of another human being -- death at the hands of another.

The sheriff or police agency investigates who the perpetrator is, when it is determined that the death is the result of criminal agency, that is, that the death is a homicide. A homicide is the unlawful killing of one human being by another.

The coroner

Answer 6

The Coroner in most jurisdictions.

In the UK, a Coroner's inquest is held and the jury normally makes the final ruling based on the evidence presented. The one that sticks in my mind over 20 years on, concerning an elderly woman who was walking through a construction zone after passing the barricades and was run over by a road roller: "A Coroner's Inquest ruled that her injuries were consistent with being run over by a road roller. A verdict of "Death by Misadventure" was entered." Still gives me the creeps!

It's the coroner. My ex-boyfriend (with whom I still friends) is a doctor. He used to do work with/for a coroner while in med school. A coroner will submit their evidence/theories/conclusion to the investigators.

the coroner makes the official medical cause of death while the CSI make a scientifical guess about how the individual died.
