Her Majesty’s Coroner holds office under the Crown and is an independent judicial officer.
The role of the Coroner is to investigate and record the causes and
circumstances of all sudden deaths where the cause is not known,
violent or unnatural deaths and any death which occurred whilst the
deceased was in lawful custody.
The Coroner's Service for Leicester City and South Leicestershire
endeavours to provide a caring, efficient service making the processes
involved as easily comprehensible and accessible as possible. More information regadring the Coroners can be found on the
Coroners Website.
