SANCHEZ PEREZ, J.D.. Unnatural death investigation systems: coroners and medical examiners. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.1-2, pp.20-28. ISSN 1988-611X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1135-76062013000100004.
Unnatural death is investigated by authorities in a special way because of legal reasons. There are two main models to this purpose; the one is based in Common Law tradition, the coroner system, and the other in the crime investigation. The paper goes into details of the coroner system and also of its transformation, the medical examiner system. Finally, several considerations are made about death investigation in Spain.
