  • Exposing Some Myths About Physician-Assisted Suicide
    Exposing Some Myths About Physician-Assisted Suicide Giles R. Scofield, J.D." I wish to express my gratitude to Professor Annette Clark and the students of the Seattle University Law Review for inviting me to participate in this symposium, and to submit my remarks for publica- tion. Although this essay reflects the essence of my remarks, I have taken the liberty of clarifying and expanding upon a few points. I. INTRODUCTION When I was asked to speak at this conference, I was at first hesitant to participate. In fact, I dreaded the prospect of speaking about the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. It's not that I have nothing to say on the issue; like everyone here, I too have something to say about it. Nor have I failed to think about this issue; on the contrary, I've had more than ample opportunity to ponder it. If I've thought about the topic enough to have something to say about it, why would I hesitate accepting this invitation? Why would I dread talking about an issue that has achieved such prominence? Basically, there are two reasons. First, we seem to have lost our ability to speak with one another about issues such as this. Instead of engaging one another in a conversation, we have substituted diatribe for dialogue and discord for discourse. The rhetoric of rights, and the simplistic thinking that such rhetoric creates and sustains, impedes our ability and even our willingness to listen to one another. The "I'm right; you're wrong" mentality that dominates these debates makes it impossible to get a word in edgewise.

  • Inquests – a Factsheet for Families
    INQUESTS – A FACTSHEET FOR FAMILIES This is a brief introduction as to what to expect at an Inquest and designed to give an overview about the purpose and process of a Coroner's Inquest. More detailed information is available from the Ministry of Justice Guide to Coroner Services. The law in this area can be complex - if you believe that a person's death was someone's fault (after an accident, or treatment which has gone wrong) then you should take specialist legal advice. Each Inquest is different, and practice and procedure vary between Coroners in different parts of the Country. Coroners are legally qualified (Solicitors or Barristers) and some are also medically qualified. They appoint Assistant Coroners to help them. What is an Inquest? An Inquest is an investigation into a death which appears to be due to unknown, violent or unnatural causes, designed to find out who the deceased was, and where, when and how (meaning by what means). In some inquests, for example where the person has died whilst in custody or state detention, the scope of the inquest can be widened to include the broader circumstances leading to the death – but the Coroner decides on the scope of the inquest. The "how" question is usually the most difficult. Coroners are responsible for making enquiries where the cause is unknown and the investigations are done on their behalf by a Coroner’s Officer. It is different to other Courts because there are no formal allegations or accusations and no power to blame anyone directly for the death.

  • Imagereal Capture
    F.W. Guest Memorial Lecture: July 12th, 2007 Death Investigation and the Evolving Role of the Coroner Ian Freckelton SC* Grief is a journey, often perilous and without clear direction, that must be taken. The experience of grieving cannot be ordered or categorized, hurried or controlled, pushed aside or ignored indefiizttely. It is inevitable as breathing, as change, as love. It may be postponed, but it will not be denied.' Death is a subject which has long inspired extraordinary art, music and literature. Currently, in one form or another, it dominates our television screens and our cinematic experiences. It continues to preoccupy, fascinate, confront, repel and terrify us. Contemporary necrographers, sociologists of death and scholars on palliative care have highlighted the extent to which in the aftermath of the two World Wars and in the era of institutionalisation and medicalisation of death we have a different, more removed relationship with our ancient foe - western communities are alienated from death like no previous civili~ation.~But that does not detract from the reality of grieving, bereavement and the need to try to learn how in future to prevent preventable deaths. These responses to the phenomenon of death and its appurtenances play an important role in the dynamics that generate our perceived needs for investigation of deaths which are sudden, unexplained or otherwise not readily accountable. We need to understand the causes of such deaths; to set the public record straight about them; to take criminal and civil action against malefactors, where appropriate; to learn the lessons that are to be learned from tragedies; and to avoid avoidable death^.^ Traditionally, our principal means to these various ends has been the institution of the coroner.

  • We, at the Lexington County Coroner's Office, Extend Our Deepest
    We, at the Lexington County Coroner’s Office, extend our deepest sympathy to you during this difficult time. We hope that this information will assist you by providing answers to commonly asked questions. Q. WHY IS THE CORONER INVOLVED? A. State law requires the Coroner to inquire into and determine the circumstances, manner, and cause of all sudden, violent, or unusual deaths and those deaths where the decedent has passed within 24 hours of admission to the hospital. The deceased may be taken to the Coroner’s morgue facility and examined by a pathologist to determine the cause of death. A death certificate is issued after the examination is completed. Occasionally, more extensive testing is required, in which case an interim or “pending” death certificate is issued, which will allow the family to make funeral arrangements. An amendment will be issued to accompany the death certificate following completion of special testing. Q. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? A. Select a funeral home and inform the funeral director that the death is being handled by the Coroner. Ask them to please notify us that they will be handling the arrangements. Our office does not select funeral homes nor do we make arrangements. In the event someone is making the arrangements for the family, the Coroner must be provided written authorization to release the deceased, signed by the legal next of kin. Should he/she reside at a distant location, they may send a FAX directly to the Coroner’s Office. The following format should be used: CORONER, LEXINGTON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA RELEASE THE REMAINS OF MY (relationship and name of decedent, Coroner case #) TO (name of funeral director selected).

  • Coroner's Inquests
    Coroner’s Inquests Overview The coroner is an independent judicial officer who investigates deaths in England and Wales which may be due to violent or unnatural causes, where the cause is unknown, or when an inquiry is needed for some other reason, for example if the death occurred in prison. Where necessary the coroner can hold a public hearing in court, known as an inquest. This seeks to establish who the deceased was, and when, where and how they came by their death. Inquests are fact-finding hearings and the coroner determines the evidence to be heard and which witnesses to call. The coroner can designate any witness as an interested person (IP), a specific legal status which gives rights such as to be legally represented at the hearing, to ask questions of other witnesses and to obtain disclosure of documents. Essentially, an IP will play a more active role in the inquest proceedings, as opposed to a factual witness. The coroner may grant the status of an IP to an individual or organisation because of a concern that an act or omission by that individual or organisation may have contributed to the death. The coroner cannot blame individuals, or determine civil or criminal liability for a death, but they can be critical of individuals involved and standards of care. Being criticised by a coroner would necessitate self-referral to the General Medical Council (GMC) or General Dental Council (GDC) as appropriate. Basic considerations Before an inquest You may be asked to provide a written report about your involvement in a patient’s care, or the care provided by an organisation or department where you worked.

  • Medical Examiners and Coroners
    Medical Examiners and Coroners As a medical-legal officer, the coroner or medical examiner is responsible for investigating and certifying specific types of death, and the records produced by these investigations can provide valuable data. Although which deaths are investigated is governed by state law, the types of deaths usually included are:1 • Deaths as a result of an accident, suicide, or homicide • Deaths with unusual or suspicious circumstances • Deaths from disease when “the death occurred suddenly and without warning, the decedent was not being treated by a physician, or the death was unattended”2 Information is collected in different ways in each state, depending on the system in place. For example, a state may have a medical examiner system, a coroner system, or a mixed system. The system may be centralized (controlled by one state office) or decentralized (controlled by county or regional offices). The difference between coroner and medical examiner systems varies by jurisdiction. In addition, the qualifications, skills, and activities of personnel cannot necessarily be determined from the title of the office. However, some differences between coroners and medical examiners may be generalized: • Coroners are usually elected and are not required to be physicians. If an autopsy is needed, a coroner will frequently consult with a pathologist or forensic pathologist. • Medical examiners, in most cases, are appointed and must be physicians. However, they may not be required to have special training in pathology or forensic pathology. Coroner and medical examiner records generally include: • Cause and manner of death • Results of autopsies and laboratory tests for the presence of alcohol or drugs • Circumstances leading to death However, the information collected on suicides and other deaths varies by jurisdiction.

A Coroner System in Crisis: The Scandals and Struggles Plaguing Louisiana Death Investigation I. INTRODUCTION A. "The CSI Effect"' andPublic Misconceptions Regarding LouisianaDeath Investigations In today's world of highly glamorized forensic science dramas, such as CSI, the public has developed grave misconceptions about what realistically can be accomplished and what is statutorily required in the performance of a forensic death investigation. Though many Americans are led to believe the world of death investigation is filled with highly educated professionals using cutting edge investigative techniques in order to quickly solve crime, many death investigations are limited in their scope and effectiveness by outdated laws, insufficient regulation, and poor fnding.3 In the real world, death investigations are time consuming and resource draining, often only providing probable or likely scenarios rather than hard and fast answers about what actually occurred.4 A distinct problem facing death investigations throughout the United States derives from both the laws that qualify those who may perform death investigations and the great discretion the laws give to these officers.5 Many officers have no specialized medical or legal training, and death investigation offices commonly lack higher government supervision and regulation.
