The function of the Elk County Coroner is to investigate deaths of a suspicious or violent nature. They are assisted by a Coroner Jury of Inquest when called to determine the cause of death. When inquests are warranted, the coroner is empowered to perform autopsies, subpoena witnesses, administer oaths and compel attendance at an inquest upon threat of imprisonment.
The coroner is required to issue a certificate of cause of death if such occurs without medical attention or attendance.
