In most cases a coroner is not any sort of doctor. This office can be held by a forensic pathologist with a medical degree and medical license such as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.), Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), or Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS/MBChB) degree. They look into deaths that my be suspicious. They also keep death records.
