Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

A narrative verdict, introduced in 2004, is a factual record of how, and in what circumstances, the death occurred.

It may include facts such as where the death took place, the cause or causes of the death, any defects in the system which may have contributed to the death and any other relevant factors.

The verdict does not allow anyone to attribute criminal or civil liability to any named individual.
