Why is the Office of the Coroner investigating my loved one’s death?

The Office of the Coroner is governed by Colorado Revised Statutes (Colorado law). These statutes require that the Chief Coroner, or her/his designated personnel, investigate certain types of deaths. If the Office of the Coroner is involved in investigating the death of your loved one, it is likely because the circumstances of your loved one’s death require investigation by the Office of the Coroner under Colorado law.
