I guess that if you were a relative in the courtroom, still in shock at your loss, you would want to hear that the Coroner, the legal or medically qualified person appointed to provide a verdict as to the cause of death, was going to do everything possible to get answers as to why your loved ones were killed while going about their business. Or is there something you find particularly distasteful about that? (emphasis added)
A sincere question: In the UK is it really the coroner's job to determine "why" a person died as opposed to "how"? I ask because in another thread about aerotoxic syndrome another coroner made some scathing conclusions about air quality in airliners having contributed to a person's death. That sounded odd to an American's ears.
