Depends when as inquest records of recent times only be held for 15 years then can be destroyed.

the local coroners office would be the best place to start......local newspapers may have reported it.,but only the findings outcome and not the full indepth case..

Very few inquest records survive. Your best bet is to see if the inquest was reported in the local newspaper.

Can anyone tell me, if an inquest records an open verdict, could I request to read the records? Where would I apply?
