  closed. He must state therein whether any person was or was not produced
  before him as being the person whose  death  is  in  question.  He  must
  append  thereto,  in  the  form  of  depositions,  the  proofs,  if any,
  respecting the identity of any person so produced with the person  whose
  death  is  in  question  or  if no one is so produced, upon the question
  whether the latter person is living. He must also state  in  his  report
  his conclusions upon the questions controverted before him.
