I have a relative who died in South America in the 1940's. Apparently it was a tragic accident. He is buried there but there was an inquest which was held at Clapham some time after. No idea when though. I do know roughly which year he died. I can 'see' his Seamans record on the National Archive Index referrred to in another thread on this board as he is the first one on the page.
Can anyone tell me why there would have been an inquest here and if there might be any records of it? would they have issued a death certificate for someone who died abroad?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sue
ps cannot put his name up here as it is too recent but PM me if it would help.

Is his death included in the index of overseas deaths?

With a reference from the marine deaths index, you can order a copy of the certificate from the GRO.
