Private post mortem coroner within London?

Does anyone know where I could find any information on finding a private coroner? My nan passed away about 2 weeks ago after she was staying contained by a London hospital and the post mortem came back as she died of NATURAL CAUSES yesterday.
had be having x-rays since December last year and they discovered she had cancer solely after it had spread from her chest to her spine which caused her to be paralysed from the chest down. My nan was otherwise thriving and very active for a 72 year old.

The time my nan passed she was not herself. The last time a family partaker saw her was about 5 days before and she be still her high spirited self. This time she was repeating herself over and over and her eyes were glazed and rolling around. To put it simply, she be acting crazy. She was making sense but I am not sure if she knew I was in that when I was speaking to her. My family believe this is down to the combination of medication they had be giving her. 20 minutes after I left the hospital that day, she was gone :'(

So besides all this, the report have come back as she has died of natural cause and this obviously isn't right. My family want to find a private coroner in London or surrounding nouns if anyone can help.

Thanks in advance.
Answers:     Hi Stina,
Suggest that you contact the Law Society and ask who can advise you in such a overnight case.

I do not know of a private coroner, but you should ask about a second feelings and ask every one involved until you are satisfied -

Call the local council - or the court as they will have lists of race who can provide this.
Peter is correct. Cancer IS a inherent cause of death. With her diagnoses, she probably would not have even survived a resuscitation and what would be the point if she be terminal? Her cancer sounded very advance and the confusion could also have be explained my secondary tumours which may have spread to her brain. You just hold to accept this and let it go I'm afraid, nought is going to bring your gran back.

Why don't you have a chat with the Doctors who be caring for your Gran? that might help put your mind at rest. You can of course wages for a private Pathologist to conduct a second post Mortem, however the outcome will likely be the same. Source(s): Registered Nurse
Just to get the terminology straight, a coroner is a public official, whose duty is to travel into the causes of death. There is no such thing as a private coroner. However, he is assisted surrounded by his duties by a pathologist, a medically qualified specialist. Although most pathologists work for the NHS, coroners' work is not covered by the NHS, so they give their opinions in their private time. There is nought to stop you instructing a pathologist to provide a second post-mortem opinion with a view to appealing the coroner's outcome. However, I would advise against it, because I think you have misunderstood the substance of the term "natural causes". Cancer is a natural inflict of death. If you feel the doctors have not looked after her properly, the first piece to do is to write a letter to either the consultant in charge when she died or to the chief executive of the hospital, outlining your grievance. I may read out that I myself have often met with relatives after a loved one have died, and have been able to resolve lots misunderstandings in this way. I may also say that I also would not dream of resuscitating someone who be dying of cancer. Source(s): 38 years in medicine
