Medical Examiner (Coroner)

A Medical Examiner, also known as a Coroner in some areas, is a trained professional responsible for investigating the cause of sudden, unexpected, or unexplained deaths. They perform examinations, sometimes including autopsies, review medical records, and gather evidence to determine how and why a person died. Their findings can help provide closure for families, assist law enforcement, and contribute to public health data. Medical Examiners often have medical degrees and forensic training, allowing them to assess complex cases accurately. Their role is essential for ensuring that deaths are properly classified and investigated when necessary.
