Relatives share impact of traumatic deaths

In a compelling documentary about coroners’ inquests, families have opened up about the sudden, unexplained, and violent deaths of loved-ones.

Inquests give grieving relatives answers in the aftermath of traumatic fatalities, and while 10,000 deaths a year are reported to the coroner’s office, a fifth of them go through an inquest.

In Documentary On One’s: Cause of Death, which was recorded over a year and a half, presenter Ruairi McKenna, speaks to three families about sudden deaths.
