    Coroner doesn’t really require much skill. It’s basically an administrative position. The medical examiner is the one who needs medical experience.

    (It still shouldn’t be an elected position though.)

      Idk, I’ve had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can’t imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.

      It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.
