How are deaths reported?

Plymouth City Council - Coroners Frequently asked questions
Deaths are usually reported to the coroner by the police or by a doctor called to the death if it is sudden or unexpected. In other cases, the local registrar of deaths may make the report. Whenever the death has been reported to the coroner the registrar must wait for the coroner to finish his or her enquiries before the death can be registered. These enquiries may take time, so it is always best to contact the coroner's office before any funeral arrangements are made.
