Syllabus

Coroners—R.C. 313.12, 313.17 and 313.19, applied—Term \during legal intervention\ in describing how death occurred is a purely descriptive term—Mandamus to compel coroner to delete phrase \during legal intervention\ from coroner's verdict for cause of death—Declaratory judgment constitutes an adequate remedy that will preclude mandamus when the General Assembly has specified that the court of common pleas is the proper forum to challenge the coroner's decision.
