Coroner Home Page - Swiss Metal Band (259 words)
Coroner was one of those underrated metal bands, mostly known to hardcore fans.
Releasing five albums and a semi-compilation in eight years -- from the unpolished and technical speed of 1987's "R.I.P. to the heavier and more laidback style of "Grin" -- the band progressed consistently, without ever losing their identity.
Unfortunately, due to lack of exposure and poor management from their label (Noise,) Coroner never got the credit they undoubtedly deserved.
Coroner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1317 words)
This reflects the role of a coroner, to determine the cause of death of a deceased in cases where the death was sudden, unexpected, occurred abroad, was suspicious in any way or happened while the person was under the control of central authority (e.g., in police cells).
The coroner has an assistant (usually an ex-policeman) who will carry out the investigation on his or her behalf and on the basis of that the coroner will decide whether an inquest is appropriate.
This role arose from the ancient duty of the coroner as a protector of the property of The Crown.
