The Function,Characteristics,and Refference of the British Coroner System
The British coroner system has a long history and still has significant influence worldwide.It has distinct characteristics,the independence,openness,comprehensiveness,and professionalism of death cause investigation,reflecting the procedural value and substantive function of the system itself.On the basis of drawing on the advantages of the British system of determining the cause of death,we can improve the system of determining the cause of death by expanding the methods of death cause investigation,streamlining the relationship between cause of death identification,appropriately disclosing the results of the death cause investigation,and establishing a special case hearing system for the cause of death.Ultimately,a complete modern system for investigating,identifying,and adjudicating causes of death will be established in China.
