Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 3-3032.

Inquest record.

Every coroner shall, at the expense of
the county, be supplied with proper record books wherein he shall enter the
name, if known, of each person upon whose body an inquest shall be held,
together with the names of the jurors comprising the jury, the names,
residences and occupations of the witnesses who are sworn and examined, and
the verdict of the jury; in  case the name of the person deceased is not
known, the coroner shall make out a description of said person, and enter
the same upon the record book to be so kept by him, together with all such
facts and circumstances attending the death which may be known, and which
may lead to the identification of the person; and shall carefully take an
inventory of said person's personal effects and property of every kind and
nature whatever, and state on his records what has been done with the same,
and where the proceeds of any such property and the money and papers, if
any, are deposited.
