The Coroner's Office is required to investigate all sudden, violent, traumatic or unexpected deaths.  This includes deaths from apparent “natural diseases” but the individual’s treating physician has no knowledge of an existing medical condition that could credibly have caused the sudden death.  Under these circumstances, it becomes the Coroner’s responsibility to determine how and why an individual died.  The Coroner is also responsible for assuring the individual’s proper identity and that next of kin have been notified.
