Overview
As the Coroner your job is to inspect the cause of death for the helpless soul that was placed into your morgue and report it to your superiors. Report to security if foul play is indicated in your report. You also have the important job of ensuring the bodies are being cloned if the morgue tray light is green.
Autopsies
Upon receiving a body, you'll have to perform an autopsy to determine their cause of death. Head over to Guide to Cadavers to learn how. After you're done with the Autopsy, be sure to contact Security as soon as possible with the Details.
Labeling
As Coroner, it is your job to label the Morgue Trays whethever the body in the Tray has been already Cloned, is Uncloneable, or is labeled To Not Be Revived due to being an EoC. This is an incredibly important task, especially to prevent EoCs from being accidentally revived. Medical Doctors usually forget about it when transporting bodies to the morgue, so be sure to remind them that their PDA has a pen they should use. If the Brig Physician brings you an unlabeled Body Bag, be sure to yell at them in Comms, send a complaint to the IAA, Call Centcomm to use the BSA on them, and then use the Hand Labeler on it to properly identify it.
Bagging
Most of the time you won't need to this because the Medical Doctors will take care of it, but if they are either too busy or too incompetent to do so remember to check the Cloning Lab for bodies being cloned, strip them and put them in a bag to prevent the revivee from seeing it. The Psychologist will thank you for this. You might also want to check the Morgue Trays for Unbagged Corpses sometimes.
Body Loot
If a body is being cloned, ensure their items are being safely stored so no assistant can snag his valuables. If the body is not able to be cloned, contact the relevant department to come and take the items back. If the body has contraband on it, contact security to take it away. And for any identification cards, simply bring them to the Head of Personnel.
Traitoring
You are entrusted with all the station's dead bodies. Help a friend out, or yourself, by misreporting the cause of death of body, stuffing the morgue trays with other items so the light clone indicator light does not come on, and most importantly, stuffing your pockets with the deceased's valuables. You might also want to hang around cloning more often or take charge of watching over cloned personnel entirely, as the Geneticist will usually be too busy irradiating themselves to death to do so, anyway.
