The primary responsibility of the coroner is to determine the cause of death in cases involving violence, casualty, unexplained or suspicious circumstances or when the person is found dead. When notified of a death under any of the above circumstances, the coroner must alert and obtain the investigative assistance of the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction.

When the coroner determines the cause of death, the law requires the coroner to file a death certificate with the findings. If an autopsy is needed the coroner must employ a qualified pathologist to conduct it. Additional reports of the cause of death may be filed with the Clerk of Court.

Joe Ridgeway has experience doing this in the military, it is also my understanding that he has work with law enforcement in a similar capacity in his career also.

Every elected official should be qualified to execute the
duties of the office, though it does not appear to always be the case.
