coroner
"Coroner" + explication


Explanation:
La fonction de "coroner" n'existe pas en France, il n'y a donc pas de terme équivalent. Je garderais le terme anglais et j'ajouterais une note expliquant ce qu'est un coroner, en gros c'est un fonctionnaire qui enquête sur les morts suspectes. En Angleterre (je suppose que c'est de l'Angleterre qu'on parle), un coroner peut être un médecin ou un avocat, j'éviterais donc de le traduire par médecine légist, parce que ce n'est pas forcément un médecin.

On peut également simplement dire 'coroner' en français.

agree  Jean-Claude Gouin: Je suis d'accord avec vous même si le demandeur ne veut rien savoir du terme employé au Québec! Au Québec on dit aussi un "expert médico-légal" ou "un médecin légiste" ...
