Sometimes an investigation is carried out by a Coroner in a different area from where the death occurred. An example could be where someone was injured in a road traffic collision but was then moved to a hospital in a different area for specialised care and later died from their injuries. It may be appropriate to transfer the investigation to the area where the incident happened, especially if it is also near to where the deceased's family live.
If an investigation is transferred to a Coroner in a different area, the new Coroner will inform you of that decision and the reason for it. The Coroner's office will consult you beforehand wherever possible.
