The Coventry coroner has a very difficult job and the number of
cases waiting to be dealt with. Typically there can be 20-25 cases
and can take up to 3 weeks for the relevant procedures and
investigations to be carried out. Bereaved relatives can be left
not knowing what happened to their deceased. This puts further
emotional pressure in an already difficult situation.
Many towns and cities such as Leicester, Dudley and Stoke on Trent
use MRI/CT scanning to perform a digital autopsy. This helps to
relieve the pressure on the Coroner as this speeds up the process
and reduces the likelihood of an invasive autopsy to determine the
cause of death. Grieving relatives are able to know what happened
to their loved one more quickly. They can then make the appropriate
funeral arrangements and complete their grieving and
mourning.
