Coroner Involved Death
The remains of deceased persons are brought to the Coroner's Office because Ohio Law requires that the Coroner investigate deaths of persons caused by criminal violence, accident, or suicide, dying suddenly, when unattended by a physician for a reasonable period of time, in detention, when under 2 years of age, or in any suspicious or unusual manner. Another reason that a body may be brought to the Coroner's Office is that the identity of the deceased or next-of-kin is unknown.
If your loved one is at the Coroner’s office, the legal next of kin will often be required to sign a release allowing the funeral home to pick up the decedent. Our funeral director will assist in obtaining this signature and submitting the release to the coroner’s office.
There are multiple coroner offices that serve the greater Cincinnati area and surrounding states. We have attempted to provide links to the offices we most often come in contact with in serving families. All these websites offer great information and answers to frequently asked questions regarding releases, autopsies performed by the coroner's office and death certificates when the coroner is involved.
