Vernon County coroner reports 26 deaths in April; most natural causes
Summary
The county coroner reported 26 deaths in April 2026 (16 male, 10 female); 21 cremations and five burials were recorded, with 23 natural deaths, one suicide, one accidental and one pending determination, all flagged as coroner cases requiring follow-up.
In the board's packet, the coroner's office reported 26 deaths in Vernon County in April 2026. "For April 2026, there were 26 deaths. 16 were male, 10 were female, 21 cremations, 5 burials," the presenter recited; the coroner classification showed 23 natural deaths, one suicide, one accidental and one pending investigation.
The presenter said 100% of those deaths were coroner cases requiring additional follow-up and sign-off. Board members asked clarifying questions about whether that count covered the entire county (the presenter confirmed it did) and about the source of coroner income, which the record shows comes from a mix of tax-levy and fees (death certificate and related service fees).
