Industrial disease More easy to understand, a conclusion of death by reason of Industrial Disease is used when the Coroner is satisfied that the death resulted from a disease caused by work. Natural Causes This conclusion reflects the normal disease process and will be appropriate where someone dies as a result of disease naturally acquired.
Open An open conclusion will be given if there is insufficient evidence to record any other suggested conclusion or where there is other evidence but the required standard of proof is not reached. Road Traffic Collision This is a relatively new conclusion and applies in any circumstances where someone dies as a result of an incident on the road and involves a vehicle.
Stillbirth Currently an inquest may be opened to ascertain whether a child was born alive or not. Suicide This conclusion means self-murder. Narrative conclusion In place of the short form conclusions listed above the Coroner can give a narrative conclusion. Neglect This does not equate to Negligence. Related posts.

There is a very clear distinction, as Anthony posted, which is that a misadventure verdict means that the deceased contributed in some way to his own death. In a case of accidental death, there is no contribution from the deceased. Not if done properly at a proper crossing or in a safe place after following all the normal requirements of safe procedure.
No, he is not required to. On the contrary, it is often a coroner's verdict that leads to the decision to prosecute. Without crime, yes. Perhaps the dictionary was referring to without negligence on the part of someone else, but with negligence on the part of the deceased.
I don't know; and if that is what it meant, I don't agree with the definition. Negligence by one person does not exclude the possibility of contributing negligence by someone else as well. But they are not prosecuting for causing death by dangerous driving.
