Clark County names Dr. Aamir Khan acting coroner after resignation
Summary
The Board of Clark County Commissioners appointed Dr. Aamir Khan as Acting County Coroner on May 22, 2026, after Coroner Dr. Susan Brown resigned; the appointment is temporary under Ohio Revised Code Section 305.02 until the appointing central committee selects a qualifying officer.
The Board of Clark County Commissioners voted unanimously May 22 to appoint Dr. Aamir Khan as Acting County Coroner following the resignation of Coroner Dr. Susan Brown effective that day. Commissioner Charles A. Patterson moved the resolution and Commissioner Richard L. Lohnes seconded; the roll call showed all three commissioners voting Yes.
The resolution states the appointment takes effect immediately upon passage and will remain until the appointing central committee appoints an officer who qualifies and takes office under Ohio Revised Code Section 305.02. In remarks introducing himself, Dr. Aamir Khan said he is an internist and noted that "He has been in Clark County for more than 30 years." The transcript records that he currently works at the Kettering facility in Springfield and previously practiced in private practice and as a hospitalist; it also notes prior training as an ophthalmologist in England.
The action was taken during a special session convened under Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22 (Sunshine Law). The board did not set a timeline in the resolution for when the central committee must act; the appointment is therefore temporary until the committee’s selection and the appointee’s qualification are completed.
