WILLITS, Calif.—Officials shared grisly details of the deaths of a family whose SUV plunged off a cliff off Northern California’s coast during a coroner’s inquest Wednesday, April 3, to help them classify the deaths.

Law enforcement officials and a forensic pathologist testified on the first of two days of testimony before a jury that will decide whether the March 2018 deaths of Jen and Sarah Hart and their six adopted children were accidental, a murder-suicide, or undetermined.
