To what extent are the injuries of the deceased revealled in an English Coroners Court?

The Coroners court is the Highest Court in the Country and for hearing to take place, then I am afraid the details will be out for all to hear about. If it is the first hearing, it is likely to be adjourned anyway and it will be your chance to seek advice as to what the " Plan of aciton " will be for that case.

The pathologist's report will form part of the evidence heard by the coroner. It can be referred to, or read out and quite often the pathologist is there to give evidence.
Depending on the circumstances there are quite often photographs from the emergency services which leave little to the imagination.
A usual course is to ask the coroner, via the coroner's officer, to warn those present when gory evidence is about to be given or referred to, so that relatives can leave temporarily if they wish.

May I suggest you contact your local Coroner's Officer for advice. They are well informed and usually very helpful in such matters.
