LaSalle County Coroner reported 105 cases for January, including seven autopsies, and provided several operational updates to the Public Safety Committee.
The coroner (name not specified in the transcript) gave the case breakdown: one accidental death, one traffic accident, one natural (coroner natural), two suicides, two overdoses, five medical cases and 93 natural deaths, totaling 105 cases with seven autopsies.
He said the county installed a three-space decedent cooler that had been on order since the prior year and that it had already been used four times. The coroner reported the cooler cost about $9,800 installed and that having it in place saved the county “about over $2,000 this month” in avoided outside refrigeration or transport costs.
The coroner also announced the retirement of a longtime deputy, Henry Raho, who served 35 years and 54 days. The coroner said the county will present a plaque and hold a luncheon to mark Raho's retirement and noted his wife recently passed and family plans to relocate.
The committee approved the coroner's report and bills by voice vote during the meeting.
