A bill was introduced in the Hawaii legislature seven months ago that would have eliminated just such a situation: HI HB869 Relating To Coroners.
The legislature finds that coroners should be separate from law enforcement and free to make independent judgments when investigating deaths. Under current state law, the chief of police for a county serves as the coroner if the county does not have a medical examiner. Making coroners independent from law enforcement will promote transparency, avoid conflicts of interest, and encourage more confidence in coroners' rulings.
It just so happens that it's been stuck in committee since a week after it was introduced. So, you know... lucky.
so the same guy that was the clean-up guy in vegas is not only the police chief in Maui, but also the coroner and medical examiner.... let that sink in a bit....
