A coroner is a government official whose standard role is to confirm and certify the death of an individual within a jurisdiction. A coroner may also conduct or order an inquest into the manner or cause of death, and investigate or confirm the identity of an unknown person who has been found dead within the coroner's jurisdiction. In England, where the role originated, a coroner also deals with treasure trove cases. In medieval times, English coroners were crown officials who held financial powers and conducted some judicial investigations in order to counter-balance to the power of sheriffs.
The word coroner derives from the same source as the word crown, and denotes an officer of the crown. The Spanish etymological cognate for a crown officer, coronel, designates a colonel.
Duties and functions
Responsibilities of the coroner may include overseeing the investigation and certification of deaths related to mass disasters that occur within the coroner's jurisdiction. A coroner's office typically maintains death records of those who have died within the coroner's jurisdiction.

Placer County Sheriff-Coroner Morgue Facility Ribbon Cutting
For nearly 50 years, the Placer County Sheriff-Coroner Unit has operated out of a 1500 square-foot morgue facility constructed during the World War II era. The facility had only one autopsy station and separated three key players -- forensic pathologists, the Chief Deputy Coroner, and coroner investigators, who were forced to work from a different location.
Now, we introduce you to the new Placer County Sheriff-Coroner Morgue Facility, located within the Bill Santucci Center, in Roseville. The project broke ground in the Summer of 2019; the walls went up that Fall, and finishing touches were made at the beginning of 2021.
The new facility spans 20-thousand square-feet and includes an 1800 square-foot autopsy complex with five autopsy stations, along with an observation platform for She...
