Hello all I have uncovered a death cert that has the death unascertained and an open verdict by a Coroner. Is it possible to get a coroners report and if so how would I go about it. This would be quite recent death by genealogy standards (1998) so may have privacy restrictions. This person is very close family to my mother but they lost touch due to her immigrating. At this stage she is not aware that he has died so I thought that I would try to get more information before I told her. One of life's curve balls, I was trying to track him down they could get in touch again as she has been interested in finding her family roots. Cheer, Pieta Townsville, Qld, Australia

Personal details in Coroner's records are subject to a 75 year privacy rule. If the case was particularly newsworthy you might find a local newspaper report, which often contains much more detail than the court records. In which part of London did the death occur?
