Coroner shall hold inquest on prisoner who has died in prison.
|
56. It shall be the duty of the coroner having jurisdiction in the place to which the prison belongs, to hold an inquest on the body of every prisoner who may die within the prison. Where it is practicable, sufficient time shall be allowed before the holding of the inquest to allow the attendance of the nearest relative of the deceased, and in no case shall any officer of the prison, nor any person engaged in any sort of trade or dealing with the prison, be a juror on such inquest.
