Medical examiners “experts”

The Spokane Medical Examiner’s Office strikes again! These so-called “experts” ruled that the driver of an SUV that plunged down a steep embankment on High Drive on Oct. 22 actually killed himself with a gunshot to the head. In an unprecedented and obviously complicated maneuver, the victim apparently managed to pull the trigger while simultaneously driving his vehicle northbound (embankment is on the opposite side of the roadway).

This less-than-masterful ruling comes from the same perambulating, pin-headed, pencil-pushing pathologists who have been investigated for more than a dozen disputed “cause of death” controversies in the last seven years. The incidents included their 2016 finding that a woman found stabbed and wrapped in plastic and duct tape had died of natural causes, and a 2012 refusal to classify a woman who was cut in half and stuffed in sleeping bags as a homicide victim. I guess it’s a good thing that our local officials were not in charge of the JFK and Martin Luther King autopsies!
