Coroner

A coroner is a government official whose standard role is to confirm and certify the death of an individual within a jurisdiction. A coroner may also conduct or order an inquest into the manner or cause of death, and investigate or confirm the identity of an unknown person who has been found dead within the coroner's jurisdiction. In England, where the role originated, a coroner also deals with treasure trove cases. In medieval times, English coroners were crown officials who held financial powers and conducted some judicial investigations in order to counter-balance to the power of sheriffs.

The word coroner derives from the same source as the word crown, and denotes an officer of the crown. The Spanish etymological cognate for a crown officer, coronel, designates a colonel.

Duties and functions

Responsibilities of the coroner may include overseeing the investigation and certification of deaths related to mass disasters that occur within the coroner's jurisdiction. A coroner's office typically maintains death records of those who have died within the coroner's jurisdiction.

    Coroner is the penultimate release by the Swiss thrash metal band Coroner. It is technically a compilation album, although it features new material as well as selected songs from the band's previous albums. It is also regarded as their final album, even though it was succeeded by a final compilation of unreleased material in 1996, titled The Unknown Unreleased Tracks 1985-95. The band chose to go into the studio for the last time, instead of releasing a "Greatest Hits" compilation, even though they had disbanded officially in 1994 (on some of the tracks, Edelmann and Broder are replaced by session musicians).

    Coroner

    by: Coroner

    Oh how I lived the game
    When we were dancin' on bridges
    High above rivers of tears and
    The lightness of innocence gave us wings
    We were sleepin' covered
    By darkness' black velvet
    So far from coldness
    So far from light
    Where is the place
    I used to hide
    Where are the hearts
    Once given to me
    And I can feel it now
    The white cold hand
    For the first time I'm getting hurt
    By the thorns of the roses in my hand
    Time is returning to its realm
    And it's slowly melting away
    Like deep red wax
    Leaving pools of blood
    Where is the place
    I used to hide
    Where are the hearts
    Once given to me
    And sweet voices...
    Turn into sirens
    Foretelling...
    The presence of death!
    Oh how I lived the game
    When we were dancin' on bridges
    High above rivers of tears and
    The lightness of innocence gave us wings
    We were sleepin' covered
    By darkness' black velvet
    So far from coldness
    So far from light
    Where is the place
    I used to hide
    Where are the hearts
    Once given to me
    And sweet voices...
    Turn into sirens
    Foretelling...
