The Coroner is an elected office serving for a four year term. The Coroner's office is a law enforcement agency, which, as part of the system of checks and balances, investigates deaths that occur in the county elected.
The Coroner's jurisdiction is determined by where a death actually occurs, not where a particular incident/accident happened that might have caused the death. An incident/accident may occur in one county, but if the victim is transported to a facility in another county and pronounced deceased, the jurisdiction lies where the actual pronouncement of death occurs.
