Medical - Law (general)
English term or phrase: Coroner
What is the correct term for this American job title in Norwegian, per what I can find the post does not exist in the Norwegian system, but is there a normally used term for it? The closest I can find is "rettsmedisiner", but that misses quite a bit of the job description.

Her kommer forøvrig en utmerket lenke, avhengig av sammenhengen vil du kanskje velge å benytte "coroner" og heller forklare hva det er.

agree  Leif Henriksen: Dette er det uttrykket som brukes på norsk, og som vil bli forstått av de som måtte ha behov for det. Men jeg ville nå sterkt vurdert sammenhengen, og i svært mange tilfeller ville jeg heller brukt 'rettsmedisiner'.
