Depends where he lived really, or if there was a family plot somewhere.

First port of call should be Greenwich Council website. This link should take you to the page about FH and burials

http://www.greenwich.gov.uk/Greenwich/CommunityLiving
/BirthsDeathsMarriages/DeathAndBereavement/FamilyHistoryResearch.htm

copy and paste all of it into your browser.

Alternatively, www.greenwich.gov.uk. Put Cemeteries in the search box on their site, and follow various links.

A report of the inquest may have been reported in the newspapers. See this link to find out how to get free access to 19th century newspapers:

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Highly unlikely any inquest records now survive,
You may get lucky and find a local newspapers reported the inquest proceedings. You would need to find what publications were around then and contact them for archived info

Coroners reports for then would have been destroyed. Your best bet might be to try and find a newspaper report - try emailing the library closest to the POD.
