Juan was also the person who said it was the NTSB’s responsibility to determine Fuddy’s cause of death. A claim the NTSB flatly denied.
Was he really? Interesting. Here I was thinking that the NTSB and Police Dept were arguing over who was supposed to make the coroner do his/her job, but the Police Chief IS the coroner. He has to collect the information and order the autopsy. The autopsy is HIS report, compelled by him and under his authority. HE makes the final determination of cause of death, based on the medical report by the forensic examiner at the hospital, which he commissioned in his role as coroner.
This puts a whole new light on that exchange between the Police Department and the NTSB.
