<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">inquest holder</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for coroner that I've seen before include "Inquest officer" , "Official enquiring into any death" , "Legal figure" , "Inquest holder" , "One presides at inquests" .)
