Coroners are notoriously independent. They don’t take orders from other elected officials, but they are often either underfunded, or lazy, or corrupt. They also have very little oversight of their office or duties.

Not sure how it works down there but when my son's mother overdosed they were in such a hurry to get a sample of the drugs that they performed a autopsy without telling anyone or letting anyone see her prior. This in Richmond VA.
They can charge dealers with homicide here so therefore the rush. Not sure if they do that down there

Beau Clark is an elected official and a Republican.

Pretty sure most promotions are being done based on race rather than seniority or qualifying score.
So yes.
So yes.

Someone had a dead pool going to see how quick the first homicide of 2020 would occur.

Does he even do the examination or do they have other doctors that do it for him?

What's your point?

Perhaps the victim was shot at another location and the body was moved? Still the gunshot wound should have been caught.

Unless they have video of this shooting no one will ever be convicted for it. Chain of custody issues all the way around.

Yea, I don't see them saying it's drug-related if he had an exposed gunshot wound.
Possibly robbery/drug deal gone bad where the suspect was shot and ran away?

The article states there was blood everywhere, carpet, furniture & the victims clothes were saturated with it.
This was the coroners office being lazy & on the detectives / BRPD on scene for not speaking up

According to the relatives. I just don't know if I buy it yet. It will be interesting to follow if it doesn't disappear.

It will, like every other murder that BRPD can’t close
Until someone speaks up & tells the truth about the victims & what they were involved in they will remain open

It was lazy people not wanting to work the holiday. Drugs were found at the scene, not necessarily illegal, but obviously of the type you can OD on. Gunshot wound with no exit may not be easy to find especially on hairy, dark skin. Funeral home may have only caught it when the embalming fluid began leaking. The toxicology report may have eventually let them know something wasn’t right so they are lucky it was caught “relatively” early.
