If they have an enquest (or is it inquest) that can be held.

I know autopsies are conducted or performed, but held? Not exactly a host situation, is it?
Is this only a draft of the story? Are you going to delete parts of this story that I comment on so that anyone reading my comment won't understand to what I am referring like you did the other day? Okay, I'll wait.
