Questions After A Death
An epilepsy-related death will leave you with many questions
-
Who can I talk to in order to understand what has happened?
-
Why have I been contacted by the coroner’s office? And what happens next?
-
Is there going to be a post-mortem? If so, why? Will I be told the outcome? And who by?
-
When can we hold the funeral?
-
What is an inquest and why is there going to be one? What happens at an inquest? Can I attend? Can I ask questions?
These could include:
