KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Inquest
An inquest is a formal inquiry conducted to determine the cause of a death where the circumstances are unknown, sudden, or suspicious. It is presided over by a coroner and may involve a jury.
Inquests are fact-finding proceedings rather than criminal trials. Their purpose is not to assign blame but to establish who died, when and where the death occurred, and how it happened.
