A staple of the Police Procedural. Also known as the Medical Examiner or ME, the Coroner tells the detectives how the victim died and hands them any interesting trace evidence. Typically, this professional is the detectives' first stop after examining the crime scene.
The coroner is typically depicted in crime shows as a middle-aged, dryly sardonic male whose daily handling of corpses has left him thoroughly desensitized to even the most horrible of deaths. This is usually played for comic effect, such as having the coroner eat a sandwich while working, or reacting calmly to a murder so gruesome it even freaks out the heroes. Many have a tendency to speak to the deceased, either in jokes or sympathy over a particularly violent death. This tends to be Truth in Television. May or may not be involved in dismissing violent murders as suicides or accidents; the role can also be filled by another member of law enforcement.
Note that in Real Life the position of coroner may or may not be held by a medical doctor. In some jurisdictions both positions are held by the same person, but in others the coroner is a lawyer or paralegal who handles the paperwork, conducts inquiries, etc., while the medical examiner is a forensic pathologist who conducts the autopsies. In some areas the coroner is an elected official like The Sheriff (indeed, in the United States this is very common), and a few US counties even combine the two offices. In several states, the coroner also has the power to arrest the sheriff and serve as the acting sheriff, taking interim charge of the county jail. In some areas, too, there aren't enough suspicious deaths to justify the cost of a full-time forensic pathologist; in these areas, a local surgeon or GP usually handles less suspicious cases while obvious murders are farmed out to freelance forensic pathologists. Also, in Real Life most deaths reported to the coroner or medical examiner aren't investigated, since most deaths that have to be reported aren't suspicious deaths.
Interestingly, most forensic pathology residents these days are women; in twenty years, it's estimated that almost all medical examiners will be female.
Compare to the Creepy Mortician and the Undertaker character in Westerns.

Mr Waynesbury in Thud! is Ham-on-Koom's coroner, as well as the magistrate. He spends his afternoons fly-fishing in the peaceful waters of the lower Koom River. Given the extremely treacherous nature of the upper Koom, and its attraction to treasure seekers, this often leads to discoveries that require him to go back to work.

Brother Cadfael:
The Welsh boatman Madog knows every inch of the Severn so well that he's the go-to person to advise investigators about when and where bodies have wound up in the river, or where they're likely to turn up after a drowning or water-dumping. He's also hauled so many corpses out of the river that he's widely known as "Madog of the Dead-Boat".
Cadfael himself, as the abbey herbalist, is the one to examine dead bodies and determine how they died. While he shares his findings with sheriff Hugh Beringar, he does most of the questioning.

The Cemeteries of Amalo: Ulzhavar, the Master of the Mortuary, is a distant relative of an Impoverished Patrician and is often found conducting autopsies for investigative purposes and/or to instruct his new subordinates in how it's done. Thara consults him in multiple cases when he needs to exhume a body and determine if someone was poisoned. In an interesting coincidence, one of those victims turns out to be Ulzhavar's own great-aunt by marriage, and Ulzhavar's report helps catch her killer.

Being a Crime game, the police department of Criminal Case has a coroner to autopsy the victim for every case. In Grimsborough, there is the nature-loving Nathan Pandit; while in Pacific Bay, the victim's corpses are handled by the witty Roxie Sparks who is absolutely thrilled to examine dead bodies and hardly ever misses the chance to make puns about the victims' cause of death.

In V for Vendetta, Dr. Delia Surridge informs the police that V's victims were killed with commonly available poisons which are therefore untraceable. It turns out that she worked at Lark Hill an Evil Scientist, experimenting on the prisoners. She is killed painlessly by V in her sleep for her later remorse.

The rather depressed Dr. Knox of Fullmetal Alchemist averts the usual attitude of this trope. A former surgeon, he was forced to perform horrific medical experiments on Ishvalans during the war and chose to become a coroner after the war out of shame. Though he would never admit it, he is grateful that he gets to save Lan Fan and May Chang.

Polina, the young pathologist from Martin Cruz Smith's Red Square. She is hardworking and honest, which is a rarity in the Moscow militia (police forces), and jaded and cynical far beyond her years, which is not. As the novel is set in the last few months of the Soviet Union, the militia have to make do with dwindling resources. Case in point: she arrives at a theory that the victim of the book was killed by an incendiary device of copper sulfate and red sodium separated by a permeable barrier like paper or cheesecloth; when the sodium soaks through and comes in contact with the copper sulfate the device ignites. So to test her theory, she invites the lead investigator to come with her to the car junkyard, where her test equipment consists of a stopwatch, a paintboard and brush, various membranes to be tested, and a bucket each of red sodium and copper sulfate. (When the investigator points out, rather gingerly, that they have militia technicians with body armor, bunkers, and very long brushes for this, she answers that she's quicker and better — and she is.) She also accounts for the unusually large amount of blood she found at the crime scene, by testing the blood and finding that it's not human - the killer made improvised napalm by mixing gasoline with cattle blood, adding that liquid soap and egg yolks can be used for the same purpose.

Dr. Ito in the Sano Ichiro series, a position that is especially tricky in Edo-period Japan as performing autopsies violates Shinto practices of the time, under which only members of the burakamin ("untouchable") caste can touch dead bodies, animal or human. In addition, he uses forbidden Western medicine knowledge and techniques to do them, an issue which has already gotten him "exiled" to Edo Jail.

In Starlight Over Detrot, due to the general lack of homicides within Equestria — as well as the fact that it's quite a distasteful task — the job of forensic pathologist is very difficult to fill. In fact, Detrot only has one coroner (plus or minus an oversized hamster): Slip Stitch, a pony who starts out on the strange side, then jumps right off that slippery slope. Add to that the fact that he occupies the Detrot Morgue and Ice Cream Parlor, and, well...

During one chapter of Fahrenheit, detective Carla Valenti goes to her police station's mortuary to watch a coroner perform his duties on the victim in the game's resident murder case. He declares his findings aloud; if the player passes a Quick Time Event during these declarations, they'll learn what conclusions Carla draws from the autopsy, such as the lack of a struggle and the killer being left-handed.

This is a pretty common character archetype in The World of Darkness gamelines (the other would be the detective), since one's first brush with the supernaturals is usually at the receiving end of their murderous power, or examining someone who were in such an unenviable position.

Membrillo from the game Grim Fandango is a traditional example, down to the dark sense of humor. Well, aside from the fact that since he works in the Land of the Dead, the "corpses" he deals with are those who've been "sprouted" and are thus Deader than Dead... (Membrillo translates as "Quince" — surely a nod to Quincy?)

Batman:
For a few years, Mortimer Gunt in the comics. He was a bit character even during his creator Doug Moench's heyday on Batman; his biggest role might actually be in Moench's prose collection The Forensic Files of Batman.
Currently Dr. Nora Fields. Her desensitization is partially because she's the Gotham City coroner, and as such, has been through everything including the autopsy on her own husband's shattered, frozen body and having her arm blown off by the Joker.

Though not officially a Coroner, Sakurako of Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation effectively serves this role. In the first episode, she is able to determine that a couple found dead on the beach were, in fact, murder victims and not a double suicide as the police had initially suspected. In another episode, she comforts a young woman by pointing out that her grandmother's death was an unfortunate accident, and not a suicide (Sakurako was the one to discover the skeleton). And in another episode, she quickly determines that a man's "accident" was actually a suicide attempt.

In a skit, Jade in Tales of the Abyss will mention that as a boy, he wanted to become a doctor... of pathology. As an adult, he joined the military instead, but still retained the coroner's unflappability and dark sense of humour.

Saw:
The first seven films have Dr. Adam Heffner of the Metropolitan Police Department. While he first appeared in Saw IV and doesn't get much screentime to know his personality well, he was the one who examined the cause of death of all the victims in the Jigsaw killings found by the police from the first movie to Saw 3D (where he ends up getting killed by Hoffman).
Logan Nelson and Eleanor Bonneville are the two medical examiners who are involved in the case of the new Jigsaw killing spree in Jigsaw.
