'I am convinced that this service will offer a better, faster and a clinically reliable means for me to obtain the evidence to establish an unequivocal cause of death'

Technology is to be introduced by a coroner which will be able to establish cause of death without dissecting the body. A leading coroner said families who have recently lost a loved one in Bolton , Salford, Wigan will soon benefit from 'digital autopsies', which not only minimise emotional distress, but also accelerate the post-mortem process.

The cutting edge digital imaging technology means many post-mortem examinations can be carried out in a computerised environment by digital tools, rather than by a scalpel.The company said the approach allows for a quicker resolution of cases. Following a procurement process, Bolton council has signed a partnership with Digital Autopsy UK and it is anticipated the service will be available from June this year.

HM senior coroner for Manchester West, Timothy Brennand said: "I am delighted to be the first coroner in Greater Manchester, and one of the first nationally, to have secured a change in provision of service to allow us to rely on non-invasive technologies. Dr Patrick Waugh, from Royal Bolton Hospital said: "This is a great step forward in this region for the deceased and their families. “This places family concerns and wishes at the centre of coronial investigations.
