So in summary, a patient who who dies in a hospital will be brought to the hospital mourge. A patient who dies outside of a hospital will be picked up by the coroner or funeral home. Only in very rare circumstances would a death outside of a hospital be transported to a hospital morgue.
Thanks, Boo. That was very helpful.

Now I wonder what actually happened to Lt. Joe that day.

I'm looking past all this talk of heat exhaustion and LE dressed in camouflage armed with sniper rifles running around in random directions like over caffeinated chickens with their heads cut off. The GPS in LT.Gliniewicz's Patrol car, that's key to me at this point.

The leak about Lt. Joe being on the scene 20 minutes prior to him calling dispatch,that will be interesting. False info has surfaced in the past. They've acknowledged the Patrol car GPS but it's the veracity of 20 minute gap leaked info I'd like to know about and what it means if true.

20 minutes: Setup time for a staged suicide? Perhaps, or could it be possible that Lt. Gliniewicz, who was responsible for monitoring the area, had some information he was working with and was parked out of sight off a side road waiting for events to unfold?

Yeah! Who DID declare him deceased, when, and who DID transfer his body to where? JMO

That is part of the headless chicken chaos though. Those gps readings take minutes to obtain and I really would like to know when this was obtained because if it required some journalist three weeks later to push them to look that is a huge red flag that this task force is really bad at what they do. Really.

So Dr. Rudd is a pathologist, not a medical examiner. Hmm.

So Dr. Rudd is a pathologist, not a medical examiner. Hmm.

Did you look at his credentials? He is certified by NAME (National Assoc of M E s)
ETA: Not exactly sure why the hmmm... that he is a pathologist when many jurisdictions will not accept a ME unless he is a pathologist.

Per Wiki-
Qualifications for medical examiners in the US vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some do not require any medical training. In most jurisdictions, a medical examiner is required to have a medical degree, although in many this need not be in pathology. Other jurisdictions have stricter requirements, including additional education in pathology, law, and forensic pathology.

As I have pointed out he has NAME certification and has the stricter requirment of being a pathologist.

Certified. Not a ME though. And his is a political office. I'm suspicious of those leaks from "sources close to the investigation" too.

Do you know what a medical examiner is?
Do you understand how certifications work?

Once a bachelor’s degree is obtained, a prospective medical examiner needs to then earn either a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). The student may choose a major in any medical field. Most medical schools do not have programs in forensic pathology, but some offer courses in the subject. After you’ve obtained your doctoral degree, you must then enter a residency program in pathology and forensic pathology (which is currently a 5-year process). Once your residency is complete, you are then qualified to sit for the exam (given by the American Board of Pathology) to become board certified in pathology and forensic pathology. In all, it takes an additional 8-13 years of education after high school to become a medical examiner.

Okay so what is your problem. You are a pathologist who then gets certification as a medical examiner. Medical examiner is a govt position it isn't a medical degree. Pathology is the degree usually required.

Btw you missed this part from the same article..

They are licensed professionals who are educated, trained, and certified to do their job.


Notice the certified. You should be more impressed with certification by a peer review board when accepting any qualifications of a professional. Anyone can get a degree, not everyone is accepted for certification by boards. This is true for medical bkards, plumbers, electricians. Engineers, etc....

Retired pathologist Thomas Rudd says he thinks the Lake County coroner's office should be run from a medical perspective, and after he's sworn in for the post he was elected to this week, he intends to take steps toward obtaining certifications that the office lacks.

"This is an office that has never been run by a physician-pathologist," Rudd said. "I know how to run a lab; I have run labs."

Rudd said one of his first initiatives as coroner will be to seek accreditation for the office from the National Association of Medical Examiners, which entails completing a checklistidentifying office facilities and passing an inspection.

Although not mandatory, the accreditation is considered a "feather in your cap," Rudd said.

He also said he would ask the deputy coroners to seek certification from the American Board of Medical Legal Death Investigators. That designation also is not required, but like the office accreditation, it would send a message that the coroner's office adheres to national standards for investigations, Rudd said.

"Nobody's going to get fired if they can't pass" the test, he said. "It will not be used as a weapon of punishment."

Rudd has also proposed switching the coroner's office to a medical examiner's office, which is generally run by an appointed rather than elected forensic pathologist. He has said such a change could take some convincing of county officials and voters, since it would ultimately have to be put to referendum.

Running the coroner's office from a medical perspective became one of the central issues in the coroner race.

Maybe the doc is doing some buck-passing. If he's missing needed information why doesn't he call a press conference to say exactly what he needs to make a determination on MOD? Make it public just like the statements he's previously made. IMO it's a political issue more than anything else.

It is apparent to me that you have not read all the posts and links here. Just about everything that has been stated by both Rudd and LE has been published. Rudd has explained his dilemma and what solid evidence he needs to make a determination. JMO
