1) I think in UK law, one must get a "unlawful death" finding before you can attempt to go to trial. Not unlike our grand jury findings.

2)The UK does the inquest for all tragedies, to include war time deaths. Kinda like a sitting kangaroo court of bureaucrats??

3)They seem to relish publishing the results in all the papers with family interviews.. This is the part I do not understand at all..
