Rules that apply in Newbern
Who investigates a death here
Alabama uses elected county coroners serving four-year terms; there is no state medical examiner. Bibb, Escambia and Jefferson counties replaced the coroner with a medical examiner. Coroners investigate deaths not attended by a physician. The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences provides forensic pathology from Huntsville, Montgomery and Mobile and reports findings to the coroner.
