The Coroners Act permits the chief coroner to hold an inquest if the public has an interest in being informed of the circumstances surrounding a death and looks to gather facts surrounding why a death took place.
The B.C. Coroners Service provides an independent service to the family, community, government agencies and other organizations, but is not a fault-finding agency.
