A county coroner is responsible for investigating deaths within their jurisdiction, particularly those that are sudden, unexplained, or result from violence. They have the authority to conduct autopsies, order toxicology tests, and issue death certificates. Coroners can also summon witnesses, gather evidence, and may collaborate with law enforcement during criminal investigations. Their primary role is to determine the cause and manner of death, ensuring that public health and safety are upheld.

Who can arrest a Kentucky county sheriff?

For decades, only the County Coroner had authority to serve any kind of process on the Sheriff, including a warrant of arrest. That has recently been changed. Any law enforcement officer, acting pursuant to a warrant issued by a judicial officer, would now have authority to arrest the Sheriff. The County Coroner still temporarily assumes control of the County Jail if the Sheriff has been arrested or the office of Sheriff becomes vacant.
