Coroner Stories

I’ve noticed a lot of sites with a list of unique things the author has done. In the interest of fitting in, here’s my compilation. As a death investigator, I supppose there are many things I’ve done that most people haven’t, so I’ll try to include things most people haven’t thought of…

1. Taken a deceased child from the arms of a grieving mother or father.
2. Done the above dozens of times.
3. Amassed more photos of naked people on my work computer than most people have on their home computer.
4. Driven a car with a dead body across the hood.
5. Collected and assembled the shattered remains of a 3-year-old’s head in order to figure out where it had been shot.
6. Climbed a tree to cut down a body.
7. Been stopped for speeding and given an apology instead of a ticket.
8. Examined a dead dog for signs of smoke inhalation.
9. Crawled about 50’ into a sewer pipe to drag out a body.
10. Been stopped by the state police with thousands of dollars worth of illicit drugs in the front seat and released (unrelated to #4).

I may add to this list in the future as I recall any more “out of the ordinary” stuff.
