The Investigative Division of the Medical Examiner’s Office is tasked with gathering information regarding the medical and social history of the deceased, the events and actions leading up to the death of the deceased, and other pertinent investigative facts critical to the determination of cause and manner of death in each case. This information is reduced to writing and presented to the physicians in charge of the forensic investigation of a particular case at a daily meeting. The information obtained by the Investigators must be thorough, inclusive of all key facts and completed in a timely manner.
