In September 1194, it was decreed by Article 20 of the " Articles of Eyre" to establish the office of custos placitorum coronae ( Latin for "keeper of the pleas of the Crown"), from which the word "coroner" is derived. The office of coroner was established by lex scripta in Richard I's England. The office of the coroner dates from approximately the 11th century, shortly after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. In Middle English, the word "coroner" referred to an officer of the Crown, derived from the French couronne and Latin corona, meaning "crown". The office of coroner originated in medieval England and has been adopted in many countries whose legal systems have at some time been subject to English or United Kingdom law. They have different roles and responsibilities. Coroners, medical examiners, and forensic pathologists are different professions. The qualifications required of a coroner vary significantly between jurisdictions, and are described under the entry for each jurisdiction. The additional roles that a coroner may oversee in judicial investigations may be subject to the attainment of suitable legal and medical qualifications.
A coroner's office typically maintains death records of those who have died within the coroner's jurisdiction. Responsibilities of the coroner may include overseeing the investigation and certification of deaths related to mass disasters that occur within the coroner's jurisdiction. 3.7.5 Conclusions (previously called verdicts).
