Section 1251 - Official Records of Coroner
Every coroner, within 30 days after the end of each year, shall deposit all of his official records and papers for the preceding year in the office of the prothonotary for the inspection of all persons interested therein.
1955, August 9, P.L. 323, Sec. 1251
Based on the above, we are unable to compile specific data at any given point through the year. Please know that you are able to obtain the public records of the Office of the Coroner via the Office of the Prothonotary. As stated in the law, records are compiled annually for public review.
