What type of deaths are considered reportable under Coroners Act Section 6?

Under the Coroners Act Section 6, reportable deaths encompass a broader category that includes any death that is not attributed solely to natural causes and may require further investigation. The key focus is on deaths that involve circumstances that could be deemed unnatural or suspicious, such as those resulting from accidents, suicides, homicides, or other causes that raise concerns about the circumstances leading to the death.

While accidental deaths and deaths raising concerns may be part of the reportable category, the term "reportable deaths" captures the full scope of instances that necessitate reporting to the coroner. This includes not only those that are accidental or suspicious but also any death that might require a systematic investigation to ensure legal and public safety considerations are upheld.
