Coroner reports 41 deaths in November; board asks for annual totals for budget work
Summary
The coroner told the board there were 41 deaths in November — 38 natural, 1 suicide, 2 pending cause, and 3 autopsies — and said the office will provide a full year-to-date total for budget planning.
The coroner reported to the board that the office recorded 41 total deaths in November. "We had 41 total deaths in, November, 38 were natural. 1 suicide, 2 were pending, and there were 3 autopsies," the coroner said.
The coroner said the office has been pulled into three specific death investigations and that staff have kept oversight despite not being present full time. Board members asked for additional data for budgeting: one member asked about October numbers and the coroner said they would provide totals for the entire year and a recap of autopsies and investigations for budgeting purposes.
The coroner also said they would compile an annual total to inform next year—s budget and would return with the requested breakdown of causes and autopsy counts.
Next steps: the coroner will provide the board with year-to-date totals and a summary of autopsies and investigations to assist with budget review.
