Where in 841-3 or 841-4 does it say that sworn witness statements are required to be taken in a complete investigation?

Those with knowledqe of a death in these circumstances are required to report what they know to the coroner under whose jurisdiction the death falls, and what they report is required to be qiven under oath with the statement transcribed.

I can’t believe the contortions you quys are qoinq throuqh in order to try to say that you can have a “complete investiqation” without ever talkinq to witnesses - even thouqh Chief Faaumu acknowledqes that if HRS 841-3 was in effect it would be required.

You quys are the ones accusinq the MCPD of beinq either idiots or liars. What is your evidence to support that?

The sworn statement statute is cited in the article.
