To determine cause and circumstances of death, thus they have the legislative authority to determine the need for a PM to assist with determining COD

A

Cannot release the body earlier that 24hrs AFTER notifying PolicePolice can agree not to have a PM, Snr Sgt or above will confirm to Coroner that no PM is required and that THERE ARE NO POTENTIAL CRIME CONCERNS or SUSPICIOUS CIRCS

A

Yes - but there needs to be an EVIDENTIAL BASIS to support this refusal, this would usually amount to evidence that the Coroner has not previously been provided with.

A

No and Police are responsible for obtaining sufficient evidence of ID

Mosque shooting we had to do comparison report and have a hearing to establish ID before they could be released

A

NO - there is a hierarchy of ID considerations
Visual ID
Fingerprints - req authority from Coroner
Ontology (dental) - req authority from Coroner
Comparison Report - DVI staff
DNA - - req authority from Coroner

If the person does not look in death like they looked in life visual ID is NOT appropriate

Q

Should Police be making comment to the media around sudden deaths?

A

NO - it is the Coroners role to determine circumstances of death and not appropriate for Police to make premature comment

Seek advice from Media team or consult with the responsible coroner in relation to an active colonial investigation
