Rules that apply in Pearl
Who investigates a death here
Mississippi uses a county-based system. Each county elects a coroner, who must complete death-investigation training and serves as the chief county medical examiner or medical examiner investigator. A State Medical Examiner in the Department of Public Safety performs or designates autopsies. Violent, unexpected and drug-overdose deaths must be investigated.

Help paying for cleanup after a crime
Yes. The Attorney General's Bureau of Victim Assistance runs Crime Victim Compensation, which covers crime scene cleanup for assaults and homicides up to $1,000 per claim. Cleanup must generally be done by a professional service, needs itemized bills, and must be tied to an eligible claim. Workplaces and public places are excluded. The overall maximum award is $20,000.
