Please read this phenomenal investigation by Audrey Dutton. #Idaho #idleg
Rick Taylor considers himself a part-time coroner, even if his annual pay is $95,928 and the county payroll lists him as full-time. Asked about his handling of Onyxx's case, he said he “did basically what I call a ‘paperwork autopsy.’” National standards called for an actual autopsy and other steps.
An Idaho Baby’s Unexplained Death Got No Autopsy and a Scant Coroner’s Investigation. State Law Says That’s Fine.
With a lack of regulation for coroners, a child who dies unexpectedly or outside of a doctor’s care in Idaho is less likely to be autopsied than anywhere else in the United States.
