    And what is your question?

    I don't think the coroner had the right to simply order you out (unless, I suppose, it was viewed as a possible crime scene). But since you left, I don't see that you have any cause to complain.

    As AK said unless the place was a crime scene the coroner would not order you to leave. And you made a mistake by leaving. By doing so you abandoned the property and lost your stuff.

    You can try to sue the landlord for the value of your things but I think you lost the opportunity by vacating.

    You should have merely refused to leave, or why did you not return after he left. Why did you not go back and get your things ?
