I haven't read the spoilers though, so maybe you all know something I don't :D (please don't give it away if you do :)).

You are right but it's mortuary not morgue and post mortem not autopsy :-)

A post mortem is an autopsy - to establish cause of death

That said the GP couldn't issue a death certificate!!! Only certify death which are two different things!!

Certainly that she died suddenly at home and was not hospitalized in the very last stages of her illness would be a red flag.

The Doctor said "I'm afraid Haley's condition left her too weak to carry on, her body simply shut down",
Anna asks, "So can you do a certificate"
Doctor "All done, you'll need to take this to the funeral directors" and gives Roy the death certificate.

So it is all done and dusted, no need for an enquiry.

Why would we expect Corrie to be written with medical or legal accuracy?
