So... when he says that no clothing accompanied the body, you think that he meant that clothing accompanied the body?



With that revelation, I think I've solved this case. You see, when the coroner said that Breitbart was dead, he actually meant that he was alive. The autopsy is what really killed him, the coroner is the murderer, and the autopsy report is a confession.

Well, you confirmed that you’re not my godson. My godson would have more sense than to take what I said and make total mash out of it.

The clothes were logged in at the coroner’s office. The job of the technician who transports the body to the coroner’s office (which is one of the things that Cormier did, but apparently not in Breitbart’s case) is to unclothe it, log a report of all the clothes, possessions, etc that were with the body when it was retrieved, and photograph the body before putting it into cold storage to await the actual autopsy.

There was an audit done of this particular coroner’s office, and all the flowcharts, etc were published as part of that audit. I don’t have the link for it off-hand and it may take some time to find it because my computer has crashed multiple times in the last few years and it takes a lot of time digging to find anything these days.

IOW, when the coroner began the autopsy the body was unclothed as it typically is. If he had wanted to see the clothes or possessions he could have asked to see them.

Clothes can explain bruises, etc on the body, so even with the body having been taken to the hospital first, I believe they would have kept the clothes for the coroner.
