Death investigations & reports

Warning: Reports may contain extremely graphic information which readers may find distressing.

This page contains details of death investigations that are currently in progress as well as final reports. The PPO is only able to publish final reports after sharing them with the family of the deceased person and after the coroner’s inquest has taken place. Please visit our archive site to view reports published before June 2024. You can also view investigations started before July 2024 too.

Use the search box below to find out where a death or deaths have happened. View a list of all prisons in England and Wales.
