After 1957, deaths investigated through an inquest have Coroner's Death Certificates as well as a transcript of testimony of witnesses and an inquest report form. Later inquest files may contain toxicology reports, traffic accident reports, maps or diagrams, photographs, and other such documentation. Those deaths investigated by inquiry only are not included in these files. How to obtain copies of DeWitt County Coroner's Inquest Files Copies of the inquest files found in this index may be obtained by mail or telephone. IRAD cannot accept requests by e-mail at this time.
