Hello @Sah28,

Thank you for posting your question here, I’m just giving your thread a gentle “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share.

Take good care,
Alex

13th May and I’m still waiting for a date and cause, they said up to 6 months to me.

We had to wait 4 months in the Oxford area. They were really kind when it came to the day of the inquest. Just be aware some of the reports you will get before the inquest can be very stark and upsetting as it is the harsh reality and details of what happened.
I found it did give some closure.
They didn’t mind me calling them and asking questions. @Sah28 May be worth chasing it up?

I have chased it up and they said they still waiting on reports. Situation is so complexed, he was abroad and embalmed with no post mortem. 3 causes of death from them nothing added up so post mortem when he got home x

I’m so sorry that it is so complicated. It must be very frustrating and the stress must have compounded the grieving. It’s no wonder it’s taking so long.
I really hope you get a resolution soon and they can find some truth of how he died. Xx

I hope so they knew the situation and told us up to 6 months which has passed. Don’t know if we will ever know x

Hi @Sah28 . I lost my fiance on the 12th December and I have seen his inquest hearing is due at the end of April 2024 for 3 hours. I, well we, his family too, have to wait for toxicology reports still. We are putting all the pieces together but may never fully understand what happened. Its heart breaking. I am heartbroken without him. I want him home so much.

It’s hard, I don’t know if we will ever know either.
I’m glad you haven’t got too long to wait, we haven’t even got a date and it’s been over 7 months.
I’m just hoping it helps me and the kids in some way.
I don’t think we ever stop wanting them home.
Sending love

My partner passed feb 2022, and we only had our 1st review in november, 2nd one will be in march 24. Then an actual date will be set. I understand things have to happen but to leave families its just wrong.

Hope you get some answers sending love and support xxx

We were told up to 20 weeks for toxicology so that should be back now, and when inquest opened they gave us a date in April
