I'm hoping to get to Manchester soon to look this up myself, but is there an expert out there who could give me a few pointers to speed things up?

I'm interested in the death of a relative 40 - 50 years ago. I understand that you can't look at a coroner's report from that time unless you have a very good reason (- which I don't. I'm just curious. The death certificate says accidental death, so why an inquest?), but that there are often reports in local papers, which might be available on microfilm.

This person lived in Salford, died at the Jewish Hospital Manchester and the death certificate was issued by the Manchester Coroner.

So...
is there always an inquest after a death in hospital?
does it suggest that someone thought there was foul play?
did they have reports in the Manchester Evening News?
or some other paper?
did they appear on a particular day of the week or month?
would I find a microfilm copy - 1960's - in Manchester Central Library?
