Cedars-Sinai to do some autopsies for coroner
From Times staff and wire reports
To help relieve overcrowding at the county morgue, pathologists from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will perform some autopsies for the coroner at the hospital, the Board of Supervisors decided Tuesday.
The coroner’s office also will train Cedars-Sinai medical residents in forensic pathology, at no cost to the county, according to the agreement.
Supervisors authorized the office to make similar arrangements with other hospitals.
