Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office
Administrative History
"The elective office of coroner was established in 1850. In 1876, the coroner was made the exofficio public administrator. The coroner's duties include holding inquests over deaths of unknown cause. Under county charter, the coroner was appointed by the county executive. In 1963, the coroner was separated from the pubic administrator, and each coroner thereafter was required to have a medical degree."
