Contrary to Florida statute, the M.E. was by no means "assured that no future question will arise about the cause or circumstances of the death of the individual" when he did it.
I can think of a question or two that either went unanswered or got dubious answers that needed rechecking. I have no doubt that a top pathologist could think of several more very pointed questions.
That is sort of stupid, isn't it? He didn't know the answer to his doubts to begin with. Where did you get that quote at, Matt?
