The jurors are citizens of the county in which the death took place. The purpose of an inquest is to present information concerning the victimâs death in order for the jury to determine the cause and manner of a death. The cause of death is often readily apparent and obvious, based on the facts, circumstances, medical evidence and in some cases, toxicology and autopsy results. The real essence of the jurorsâ responsibility is to establish the manner of death (Suicide, Homicide, Accident, Natural or Undetermined).
