Can "lawful killing" be applied in England in other (more common) cases like self defence, defence of property, etc.?

[edit] Redirect Medical Examiner

Should this article's link to "Medical Examiner" redirect to the same article of Coroner?

[edit] The picture

So, the picture and the caption are a joke, right?? ike9898 19:57, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm...in what way? I suspect someone may have deliberately placed the sign in the cemetery as a joke (though the picture may be purely accidental). But it is true that many American coroners do have to run for office, and must campaign like any other elected official (although perhaps in not such a tasteless manner by planting their advertisements in cemeteries). --Coolcaesar 05:46, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lawyer or Solicitor?

In England and Wales, wouldn't you need to be a solicitor, not a Lawyer?

[edit] Certifying deaths in Scotland?

Would anyone object to a change to the paragraph on procurators fiscal certifying ALL deaths in Scotland? They certainly don't certify all deaths but do investigate ones they are required to do so by law.

[edit] death by hanging

I'm not sure how to use this thing but let me give it a try. If someone were to hang himself in December (cold) in Wisconsin, sold there be bodily "waste" after death?

How long does it take for someone to die from a hanging?

If I provoded you with a coroners report would you be able to give me some insight?
