French term or phrase: avis au coroner
This occurs in 2 diff documents from Quebec.

In a Bulletin de décès:
21. Avis au coroner (voir l'aide-mémoire au verso de la copie)
__Oui __No

In a Death Certificate:
Numéro du Bulleting de décès (SP3 or SP4) émis en vertu de l'article 46 de la Loi sur la santé publique ou numéro de l'avis au coroner émis en vertu des articles 34 à 44 de la Loi sur la recherche des causes et circonstances des décès _#######_.

At first I thought it was just saying "Notice given to the coroner?" but the second example makes it clear that the "avis au coroner" is an actual document.

It must be along the lines of "Coroner's findings" or something like that. Does a correct Canadian term exist for this in English?

Thanks!

coroner's notification
Explanation:
Despite the exact match in the legal texts quoted last below, I prefer something along the lines of "notification to coroner" or "coroner's notification", based on the partial matches in the first texts below.

AVIS AU CORONER

Lors d'un décès où des questions se posent, toute personne peut AVISER LE CORONER. Toutefois, la loi prévoit certains cas de décès devant immédiatement faire l'objet d'un AVIS AU CORONER :
[... ]
FONCTIONS DU CORONER

Lorsqu'un AVIS lui est transmis, le coroner a pour fonctions de rechercher au moyen d'une investigation et, le cas échéant, d'une enquête :
l'identité de la personne décédée;


la date et le lieu du décès;


les causes médicales du décès, à savoir les maladies, les états morbides, les traumatismes ou les intoxications qui ont causé le décès ou y ont abouti ou contribué;


les circonstances de ce décès.

Bureau du coroner

As an independent and impartial public officer, the coroner intervenes by way of an investigation and where appropriate, conducts an inquest into every death occurring in unclear or violent circumstances.
Once the coroner is NOTIFIED OF A DEATH, he or she must determine:
• the identity of the deceased;
• the place and time of death;
• the cause of death;
• the circumstances surrounding the death.

Any death occurring in Québec may be the object of a coroner’s notice.

See "Complete information" to learn more about the situations in which the coroner must be ADVISED OF A DEATH as soon as a physician has completed an attestation of death.

report to the coroner

Explanation:
I believe this is the piece of paper notifying the coroner of a death which needs his/her attention before a death certificate can be signed.

The link below specifies the difference between this report and the report written by the coroner - the coroner's notification

The Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987
- [ Traduire cette page ]
(3) Where the coroner's notification shows that no post-mortem ... (a) if the cause is stated in the coroner's notification, precisely as so stated; ...
