THESE are the inquests that are due to be heard this week at Cumbria Coroners' Court in Cockermouth.
Inquests seek to determine the cause of unexplained deaths by gathering evidence through fact-finding. They can also raise factors to institutions that may prevent future deaths. Because their role dates back centuries to when they were regional representatives of the crown including for revenue matters, they can also determine treasure.
