After viewing the PBS Frontline video Post Mortem: Death Investigations address the following questions in a one – two page reflection paper.
1. What are three differences between coroner and medical examiner/forensic pathologist systems of death investigations?
2. How do states and counties with a coroner system handle suspicious deaths requiring an autopsy? Who typically conducts the autopsy?
3. What are the weaknesses in the coroner system? Should states with coroner systems be required to convert to a medical examiner/forensic pathologist system? What is a major obstacle to conversion?
