Cumbria: these are the upcoming inquests this week

Inquests are courts but rather than apportioning blame they seek to determine the cause of previously unexplained deaths. They also find means to prevent future deaths and determine treasure. 

Cumbria-related inquests take place at The Coroner's Court in Cockermouth.
