A coroner report, sometimes referred to as a medical examiner's report or autopsy report, is a document detailing the findings and conclusions of an investigation into a person's death. Other synonyms for the term could include a death certificate, post-mortem report, or forensic report. These documents may include information about the cause of death, the circumstances surrounding it, and any injuries or illnesses that may have contributed. Coroner reports are often an important piece of evidence in legal cases, and may be used to determine criminal liability or for insurance purposes. Regardless of the term used, these reports are critical for understanding the circumstances of a person's death and bringing closure to loved ones.
