<p>Any death which is suspected to have been a suicide must be reported for investigation
by the coroner. If a note or letter has been left by the deceased person, this should
be provided to the coroner by the police and must be admitted as evidence if the coroner
considers that the content of the document is relevant to the inquest into the person’s
death.</p><p>Rule 13 of the Coroners (Inquests) Rules 2013 provides that, (subject
to a limited number of exceptions) where an interested person (which would include
the bereaved family) requests the disclosure of a document held by the coroner, the
coroner must provide the document, or a copy of it, or make the document available
for inspection by the interested person as soon as reasonably practicable.</p>
