What Ted says really.
I've attended numerous inquests over the years, including, sadly my first wife's - it's a reltively simple enquiry, my own Local Authority describes the inquest as:-
Who the deceased was
When, where and how he or she came by the medical cause of death
When a conclusion is reached, the coroner records the details needed for the registration of the death.
Seems the processes have now changed where Coroner has its own dedicated investigators rather than Police Officers. We ( My sisters and I) were e-mailed blank statement forms (MG11s) in respect of my father's death in Feb 2022 and expected to complete these without any real guidence - only my own professional experience guided me. It appears his inquest is delayed now pending a response from the Care Home. In the old days the Police's Coroner's Officers would have made this enquiries. These posts now appear to have gone from my local Police Force.
The inquest won't be a place to level allegations of gas-lighting etc.
