Cormier, who CBS reports also served occasionally as “a photographer with the special operations response team,” became a minor celebrity himself when he starred in a DVD extra for 2005 horror movie Chaos.
The short, called “Inside the Coroner’s Office: A Tour of the L.A. Coroner’s Crypt,” featured the forensic technician showing writer/director Dave “The Demon” DeFalco around the morgue.
According to one film blogger who watched the clip:
“This dude is even weirder than DeFalco...he’s kind of a mix between Dr. Lawrence Jacoby and Dr. Matthew “Frankenstein” Logan. He walks us through the various crypts pointing out all sorts of stuff, like dead babies (wrapped in plastic) and dead fat people (wrapped in plastic)! ... He even shows off his “tools of the trade”...including a long handle, curved head branch trimmer and a dry erase marker!”
