Coroner. 1  A coroner is elected for the job by voting, and can be anyone from an 18 year old student to a 60 year old citizen. 2  A coroner may or may not be required to have any medical qualification, since he does not delve very deeply into the cause of the death, by performing autopsies.
Coroners can be elected or appointed. Some are also sheriffs or funeral home directors. But many coroners aren't doctors. There are also medical examiners, who usually are medical doctors but may not be forensic pathologists trained in death investigation. But no matter what form it takes, the death investigation system in the U.S. is in trouble.
