Coroner system for unattended deaths
Summary
Madison County is one of only three New York counties where the elected DA also serves as coroner, and the DA's office says it isn't equipped for unattended death investigations. Officials are studying how other counties handle it — Oneida County contracted with Onondaga County's Medical Examiner's Office.
