About INQUEST

INQUEST is a charity that provides a free advice service to bereaved people on contentious deaths and their investigation with a particular focus on deaths in custody. Casework also informs our research, parliamentary, campaigning and policy work.

What people say about INQUEST

I think the shock of the death stops you thinking or taking all the details in. If I had been told about the right to a second post-mortem again after a few days, I would probably have liked one done. — Family of a woman who died in prison
