Is There Always a Jury at an Inquest?

No, most inquests are held without a jury, but there are particular circumstances when the law states a jury must be called, including:

  • if the death occurred in prison, in police custody or another type of state detention (except if the death was from natural causes) or;
  • if the death resulted from an accident at work
