Frontline even talked about issues such as this just the other day. Not only that we have no national standards for coroners and many are unqualified. A lot of places have the coroner up for elections.

Here was a case in Phoenix. Long read but it details many things.

I rec'd but now it is at 0. I never complain about unrec but this does seem to be an odd thread to unrec.
