A friend of ours is giving a presentation at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History on Friday, Dec 3 at 7:30pm. It says:
"The first coroners were appointed in 13th-century England to check the power of the sheriffs and protect the king's interests. Today, coroners investigate the deaths that come under their jurisdiction to determine the cause and manner of death and identify the remains. In his work as Lake County Deputy Coroner, Dr. William Bligh-Glover draws on his knowledge of anatomy, pathology, anthropology, archaeology, meteorology, entomology, geology and other subjects. He discusses how natural history applies to the work of the modern coroner. Please note: Due to the subject matter of this presentation, it may not be suitable for all audiences."
