The inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, at Stockwell underground station on 22 July 2005, was held from 22 September 2008 to 12 December 2008. This official site includes hearing transcripts, documentary evidence, the coroner's rulings, press notices and background information. Documents added since the close of the inquest include the coroner's report, dated 6 January 2009, made under Rule 43 of the Coroners Rules 1984 (as amended), and the responses to that report of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner and the Metropolitan Police Authority. These are all in the "Hearing Transcripts" section.

The inquests into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Mr Dodi Al Fayed, in Paris on 31 August 1997, were opened in January 2004 and concluded on 7 April 2008 when the jury returned its verdict. The coroner during the public hearings (succeeding Lady Butler-Sloss from June 2007) was Lord Justice Scott Baker. The web site provides background information, details of sittings, directions and procedural decisions, transcripts of proceedings, and documentary evidence seen by the jury.

This resource is compiled by Paul Matthews of King's College London, editor of Jervis on Coroners (12th edition, Sweet & Maxwell, 2002). As well as an online noter-up to Jervis there is a brief account of the law relating to coroners, an index of articles, and links.

The freely accessible areas of the Society's site (there is also a separate area for members only) provide information on the role of coroners and their history, plus a database of local coroners' offices, with names, addresses and other contact details, which is searchable both by county and by jurisdiction (district).

The Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) took over responsibility for coroners from the Home Office in May 2005. In May 2007 it was transferred again to the newly created Ministry of Justice (MoJ). The MoJ site now has the most up to date information, particularly on proposals for coroner service reform and on recent developments, but much relevant information is still accessible in this section of the now archived DCA site. There is also brief information on the law relating to burials and cremations.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is the government department currently responsible for the law and policy governing coroners and for the operation of the current coroner system, having superseded the former Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) in May 2007. Although much relevant information is still accessible on the archived DCA site, this section of the MoJ site now has the most up to date information, particularly on the changes being introduced by the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.

Harold Shipman, a former doctor, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2000 for the murder of fifteen of his patients, and died in prison 13 January 2004. Following allegations that he may have murdered many more, a public inquiry was set up under the chairmanship of Dame Janet Smith DBE. This web site provides full documentation on the inquiry, including the six reports published between July 2002 and January 2005.
