C-68 - Coroners Act
Section 30
Disposition versions
30. The coroner shall declare the inquest closed after hearing the witnesses; he shall draw up as soon as possible a written return containing his verdict, and transmit the same forthwith to the Attorney General.
The verdict shall indicate the name of the deceased, the date and place of death and the circumstances in which death occurred. In the case of a person whose identity is unknown, it shall give a complete description of the body and all the facts and circumstances that may assist in identifying the deceased later.
The coroner shall also state in his verdict if he is of opinion that a crime has been committed and, should the case so admit, mention fully the facts constituting such crime and if possible the name of the presumed criminal.
The coroner, in his report, may make any useful suggestions for the protection of society.
