Medical Examiner Attacked, Tied to Bomb Outside Office [Memphis, again!]

Well the sentenced man sent his letter last June and to me does not seem to have much relelvancy.

I haven't seen any real description of the assailants. "One or more". So we don't even have a count of the number of people involved.

The sentenced man is still in jail so he personally could not have done anything to Smith. This was the same alibi used by the middle easterners in the Tennessee DL scam when Katherine Smith died. So either people in the Memphis jail are communicating to others to murder people and issue death threats or they aren't. The media doesn't seem to see it this way.

The media doesn't seem to see it this way.

The media has strange powers of observation. They look through a lens called an agenda.

This is the week of the big fight. Can't any thing be brought up that may detract from that. Nevermind that childern are being shot up in gang warfare. Nevermind that the may be a whale of a security problem in and around town. Nevermind that police coverage is dangeriously thin so downtown can be covered. Nevermind the other stuff. The fight is just too damned important.

This has something to do with the global-warming, doesn't it?

It is a tough job being a medical examiner......

The cozy relationship between the FBI and the coroner's office

At least one of Peerwani's Branch Davidian autopsies has been challenged by British pathologists, who reexamined the body of Mt. Carmel resident Winston Blake. The second autospy failed to reveal the powder burns Peerwani said he found near Blake's gunshot wound.

The Texas coroner has presided over at least one other high-profile death case, when he autopsied the body of key Whitewater witness James B. McDougal. McDougal's March 8, 1998 prison death was caused by cardiac arrest, according to Peerwani. But several of McDougal's fellow inmates at the Ft. Worth Prison Medical Center have claimed that guards denied the former Clinton business partner his heart medicine hours before he collapsed and died. How many of the Davidians were burned to death? How many were killed by the gas? And how many were killed by gunshots? We'll never know, because the FBI did not allow the local coroner's office to be involved with the autopsies. In fact, crucial evidence was seized from the county coroner's office and never returned. Autopsies were only allowed to be performed by the FBI laboratory, the same facility currently embroiled in scandals involving false evidence in many other cases.

Fred B. Jordon the Chief Medical Examiner (who examined the victims in the Murrah Building Explosion) reacted to the government’s “case closed” statement with dismay, “Kenneth Trentadue died a violent and unusual death, the mechanism of which may never be satisfactorily explained. None-the-less, this case file remains open and we intend to continue to look at the matter and cooperate fully with any investigating agency.” Jordon complains his report was submitted by Janet Reno to the Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner for consultation and that the federal agency was in “essential agreement” with his conclusions (Suspicious circumstances). But instead, Federal prosecutor Sheyl Robinson brought in a Texas Ranger to testify before the grand jury that “he had seen a lot of suicides that looked like Trentadue’s.”

Turns out the man from the U.S Armed forces, Col. William T. Gormley (who also examined Ron Brown’s remains) refused to change his opinion which happened to support Jordon, so the government simply replaced him. Jordon says he was paid a visit by the FBI after he made a local television appearance in July publicly stating his belief that the death of Trentadue was “very likely” murder. Reportedly, the FBI wanted him to personally deliver documents—they should have already had—to the court. The agents even came armed with a subpoena. Jordon told them his attorney advised him to have nothing more to do with it. “I took it as a threat by the government,” Jordon said, “It was an attempt to show their authority by trying to intimidate me. Well, I won’t be quiet. I’m so angry at the government.”

One need only imagine what Dr. Jordon has experienced with the FBI since the OKC bombing victim examinations. In his unique position he is likely to have very interesting evidence (or lack thereof) which have no doubt prompted FBI visits before. By now he may be growing weary of their heavy-handed intrusiveness.

DR. DON CHUMLEY - MEDICAL DOCTOR One of the first doctors at the scene of the bombing was Don CHUMLEY who operated the Broadway Medical Clinic located about half a mile from the Murrah Federal Building. Shaun Jones, Chumley's stepson, was assisting him. Jones recalled the scene: "Chumley, who was working with Dr. Ross Harris, was one of the few doctors who actually went into the Federal Building while the others waited outside. He had helped many people, including seven babies, whom he later pronounced dead." Dr. Chumley, like many others, was strongly impacted by the tragic experience. He was a man of integrity and character and, when asked to participate in a questionable and outright deceptive act, he adamantly refused. An experienced pilot with over 600 hours flying time, Chumley's skills were never in question. Yet he was killed five months later when his Cessna 210 crashed near Amarillo, Texas in what are called "mysterious circumstances." "It's a pretty mysterious circumstance. There's no apparent reason--there's nothing we can think of," said Jones. "It was rumored that Chumley was about to go public with some damning information. According to Michelle Moore, who has investigated the bombing, Chumley was asked to bandage two federal agents who falsely claimed to have been trapped in the building that morning. Since the pair was obviously not hurt, Chumley refused. When the agents petitioned another doctor at the scene, Chumley intervened, threatening to report them. "When Chumley learned of the government's hastily planned cover-up, he apparently decided to go public. It seems he never got the chance."

The Tommy Burkett case is by now quite familiar to readers of this series, and it might ring a bell with the readers of Christopher Ruddy’s The Strange Death of Vincent Foster or Ambrose Evans-Pritchard’s The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, who both mention it briefly, Evans-Pritchard elaborating somewhat more than Ruddy. Burkett was a 21-year-old college student in a Virginia suburb of Washington, DC, who was found dead in his room in his parents house on December 1, 1991. The Fairfax County Police, who did virtually no investigation, ruled death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The parents later exhumed the body and a second autopsy revealed a cleanly broken jaw, a mangled ear, and numerous bruises and scrapes. He had clearly been beaten to death. The parents also learned later through confidential informants that Tommy had been doing undercover work for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The original autopsy doctor was James C. Beyer, the same person whose later autopsy of Foster, as with Burkett, was absolutely vital to the suicide conclusion.

New article just out specualting on what really happened to Dr. Wiley!

A close examination of the complete case file compiled by the office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Oklahoma reveals that inhalational anthrax was never considered as a potential cause of death in the case of Ron Miller. The Oklahoma Constitution has published several articles on Miller, a Norman businessman who died under mysterious circumstances on October 12, 1997, just before he was to testify before a congressional committee with allegations concerning some key associates of then-President Bill Clinton, and his wife, Hillary Clinton. (To review these previous articles, you can visit our web site at www.OklahomaConstitution.com).

Miller entered Norman Regional Hospital with flu-like symptoms, later diagnosed with pneumonia. Despite several days at Norman and at a Integris Baptist Hospital in Oklahoma City, physicians were unable to determine the cause of his illness. When Miller's condition worsened until his death, the case was referred to the Chief Medical Examiner (CME).

After five months, the CME finally issued its public report, declaring Miller's death "natural" but without a cause listed. Through the efforts of Dr. Stephen Dresch of Michigan, the CME later amended the cause of death as "undetermined." In a supplemental report included in the complete case file, CME spokesman Ray Blakeney wrote of media inquiries as to why the manner of death was changed from "natural to unknown." According to Blakeney's report, "the case was signed out as natural and should not have been, it should have gone out as unknown" originally. According to a source who spoke to the Oklahoma Constitution, Dr. Fred Jordan and his staff discussed the Miller case and that they all, including Dr. John Cooper (who did the autopsy), agreed with the "unknown" classification. According to our source, Dr. Cooper checked the manner of death as "natural," anyway. When we talked with Dr. Cooper this past summer, he told us that he still believed that Miller's death was "natural," but that he could not explain why.

If you are a man of science, and you mix with these guys, you either go along or go off a bridge(or get a bomb tied to you).

It was a hoax -

Memphis - County medical examiner indicted

It was a hoax -

Indicted, nbot convicted.

Note that if they don't hang everything on O.C. Smith, the shooting for which Philip Workman has been scheduled to be executed falls directly on the shoulders of former Memphis city cop Steve Parker, who's now an Assistant U.S. Attorney/prosecutor</a<, and, oh yeah, was one of Ken Starr's special investigators.

Means, motive, and opportunity.

I attended a week-long seminar with Dr. Smith the first week of May. While I do not know him that well, he is a straight-up guy, IMO.

Concur. Aside from a few professional quirks [I bet he'd wear his scrubs to a presidential inauguration] I'd say he'd the second most competent M.E./forensic pathologist in the state, after Will Bass.

Former newsman Les Seago dies at age 61

The Associated Press

BARTLETT -- Lester W. "Les" Seago Jr., a former correspondent for The Associated Press who filed the bulletin on the death of Elvis Presley, is dead at age 61.

Seago was found dead, apparently of natural causes, at his residence Wednesday.

He was a public relations specialist with the University of Memphis at the time of his death.

He worked for the AP from 1972 to 1987, covering politics and state government in Nashville and then serving as the new service's correspondent in Memphis.

In 1977, as the ranking AP employee in Memphis, he confirmed the death of Presley, filed the bulletin about it and subsequently wrote about the entertainer's funeral and aftermath.

Police found Seago's body following a call from colleagues worried when he failed to show up for work. Authorities said they found no signs of foul play but were awaiting a medical examiner's report on the cause of death.

An Air Force veteran, Seago began his writing career on military newspapers in Korea, Arkansas and Mississippi.

As a reporter for The Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock, he reported on the civil rights movement of the 1960s, including the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis in 1968.

He was later a reporter and assistant city editor for The Chattanooga Times in Chattanooga, Tenn.

He was a licensed pilot, a Civil War buff and a firearms and hunting enthusiast.

Seago, who was divorced, had one son, Les Seago III, and one daughter, Linda Rebecca Seago.
