The local records office may have a copy but there could be a 75-year closure (think that is the right expression); not all reports survive however, and sometimes there is an informative report from the relevant newspaper at the time.

Joy is right. So far I have always found the coroners report in the local newspaper. Very informative! Just contact the local library or County Records Office for the area in which the death occurred and you could well find the info you are looking for. Good luck!
