Autopsies are a necessity for local, state, and federal entities in multiple circumstances, from criminal investigations to public health management. While many cities and counties maintain a roster of full-time coroners or medical examiners dedicated to conducting autopsies, there are many other local governments and state or federal institutions that cannot maintain an on-staff coroner or medical examiner. Recognizing this need, Saguaro Forensic Consulting steps in to bridge the gap, providing a comprehensive array of independent coroner autopsy services to municipalities across Indiana and Illinois.
In the absence of on-site coroners, our professional expertise ensures that communities receive meticulous post-mortem examinations, contributing to the effective resolution of legal, medical, and public health concerns.
