The Council is responsible for providing the Coroner Service for the Essex Coroner Area which includes the administrative areas of Essex County Council and the two unitary authorities (Thurrock Council and Southend City Council).
The H.M. Coroner has a duty to investigate the death where the Coroner has reason to suspect that (i) the deceased died a violent or unnatural death; (ii) the cause of death is unknown; or (iii) the deceased died while in custody or otherwise in state detention.
Where such a death occurs in the community, the H.M. Coroner may order the body to be removed to any suitable Storage Location.
In the majority of cases the Storage Location will be a Hospital Mortuary or Funeral Director, however other Storage Locations will also be used as required to meet demand. In the majority of cases a Police Officer will instruct the Contractor to collect and remove the body, however on occasions this instruction may also be received from H.M. Coroner or a Coroner’s Officer.
