36 Notification by coroner

(1)  If a coroner is notified of a death under the Coroners Act 1995 , the coroner must inform the Registrar as soon as practicable after receiving the notification.

(2)  If a coroner authorises the disposal of human remains, or makes a finding about the cause of a death, the coroner must give a copy of the disposal authorisation or the finding to the Registrar.

(3)  The Registrar may register a death even though the death is subject to an inquest or other coronial inquiry and a finding has not been made about the cause of death.

(4)  A death certificate issued before a coronial inquiry into the cause of death is completed must be endorsed with the words: "Incomplete registration – Cause of death subject to coronial inquiry".
