A few files from 1911, 1912, 1915-1918 and all files for cases handled from September 4, 1927 until June 13, 1929. Contents of a file depend upon the nature of the case. Some contain only a death certificate. Others have letters and other personal papers found on the dead person; newspaper clippings concerning the case; correspondence between the coroner's office and persons interested in the case; the autopsy report, if there was one; morgue photos; and if violence or foul play was suspected, a transcript of the coroner's inquest and a copy of the verdict. Documentation of suicides and the violent deaths of alleged organized crime figures often is extensive, as are the cases of automobile accidents. English
