Podcasts about Coroner

How weird is this? We don't let people like bus drivers, taxi drivers and truckies drive with alcohol in their systems, but we let everyone else on the road do it. Apart from people under-20. But everyone else, all good. Now I know the difference between your average motorist and professional drivers - especially the likes of bus drivers and taxi drivers - is that they're responsible for the safety of passengers. But, just like the rest of us, they're also responsible for the safety of every other road user around them. And I think it's time to do away with this double standard and it's time we had have a zero alcohol limit for all drivers. They do it in other countries. So why not here? Because I think this coroner is pushing it uphill saying today that he hopes a case he's been looking into reminds us of the dangers of drinking and driving. I sense he's also banging his head against the wall. Because Stephen Burdes is also saying today there's nothing more he can add to what we already know about the dangers of drinking and driving. So he's just keeping his fingers crossed that, maybe, this latest example will get through to the muppets who think they're perfectly fine to drive with a few drinks on board. I don't like the chance of that happening. Because how many times have we heard about people dying on the roads because of alcohol and nothing changes? The case the coroner is referring today happened in February 2023. Michael Sadler and Tangiwai Heurea were regulars at a place called Slim's Bar in Ōpōtiki. And on the 10th of February 2023 they spent nearly eight hours there drinking. They arrived at 5:30pm and left at 1:10am the next morning. That would be their last night at Slim's Bar. Crashing on the way home after their car left the road on a gentle corner. They weren't wearing seatbelts. But, more importantly, the driver - Tangiwai Heurea - had a blood alcohol level five times the legal limit. They were discovered dead in their car the next day. You could say that they weren't the only ones at fault here. Anyone in that bar would have seen how trolleyed they were and could have done something. The person in charge of the bar that night probably has a few questions to answer too. But what it comes down to for me, is that we leave it up to individuals to decide whether they're ok to drive or not. And that's what makes it so fraught and dangerous. Fraught and dangerous because of those who think they can handle their grog and they've got no problem driving home. Even if they're a little bit tiddly. Fraught and dangerous too because, even for the responsible types, it's still a guessing game whether they should be driving or not. And we should not be playing guessing games when it comes to drinking and driving. The best way to remove the guesswork would be to make it easy as and tell people that, even if they have just one drink, they can't drive. Because, unless we do, people will keep on drinking and driving and dying. And coroners, like the one speaking out today, will keep on banging their heads against the wall.

A coroner has found that a first-time mountaineer who died on Mount Ruapehu should never have been on the icy slope where she fell. Katie Todd reports.

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I'm covering the mysterious death of Spencer Irwin, a 30-year-old Fresno City College student whose body was discovered behind a business loading dock in Fresno, California, in August of 2024. What initially appeared to authorities to be a tragic but straightforward case quickly became something far more complicated. Spencer was found naked, with no obvious signs of trauma, and early assumptions pointed toward a drug overdose or transient-related death. But toxicology reports later came back clean. No overdose. No clear explanation. And despite the unanswered questions surrounding his death, the coroner ultimately ruled it “natural causes.” What makes this case especially unsettling is what didn't happen. No autopsy was performed. And Spencer's body was cremated. As a forensic death investigator, I discuss the difficult reality of cases that fall into gray areas, where evidence is limited, assumptions are made early, and families are left searching for answers long after a case is considered closed. Because sometimes the hardest part of an investigation… is not what we know. It's what we don't. This episode contains discussion of death, investigative uncertainty, and unresolved circumstances surrounding the case. Listener discretion is advised.

Experts are flagging the dangers of some sleeping devices, after a five-month old's death in 2022. The baby boy was found unresponsive and died after being left in his sleeping pod on his stomach, with blankets around his face. The Coroner says the pods, also called loungers, are unsafe - and recommended more restrictions. Emeritus paediatrics professor Barry Taylor says sleeping pods differ from pepī-pods, made of hard plastic. "If you put your face hard against the hard surface, you've still got spaces in the creases between the nose - so it's not like it's moulded against the face."

A coroner is examining how a 16-week-old baby suffered catastrophic head injuries in 2014. Timothy Brown reports.

In Episode 329 of Everyday Injustice, the podcast features a wide-ranging and deeply probing conversation with UCLA professor Terrence Keel, a leading scholar examining the intersection of race, science and public institutions. The discussion centers on his new book, The Coroner's Silence, which investigates how death investigations—particularly in cases involving police custody—can obscure rather than illuminate the truth. Drawing from years of research and analysis of hundreds of autopsy reports, Keel argues that official records often contain narratives that deflect responsibility away from law enforcement and toward the bodies of those who have died. Keel explains that his work was partly inspired by national reactions to the killing of George Floyd, particularly the controversy surrounding the autopsy findings that created ambiguity about the cause of death. That moment raised broader questions about how medical examiners frame deaths in less visible cases—those without video evidence or public scrutiny. According to Keel, these patterns are not isolated but systemic, revealing how forensic language, institutional relationships and embedded biases can shape outcomes in ways that undermine accountability. Throughout the episode, the conversation expands beyond individual cases to examine structural issues within the death investigation system. Keel highlights how medical examiners and coroners, often portrayed as neutral scientific authorities, operate within political and bureaucratic frameworks that may influence their conclusions. He points to conflicts of interest, including situations where law enforcement agencies are directly involved in or present during autopsies, raising serious concerns about independence and transparency. These institutional dynamics, he argues, contribute to a broader failure to accurately document deaths in police custody. The episode ultimately situates these findings within a larger critique of the criminal legal system, emphasizing how gaps in mental health care, housing and social services have led to increased reliance on policing as a default response. Keel underscores that many of those who die in custody are among society's most vulnerable, and he calls for systemic reform that includes independent oversight, improved transparency and a rethinking of public safety itself. The conversation offers both a sobering assessment of current realities and a framework for understanding how institutional practices shape public narratives about justice and accountability.

The old Arapaho Powderface had been named a "Chief" by the Federal Government, one of a few tribal headmen to treat with and later ignore. The newspaper called him "obstinate," and it cost him his life. And the story was soon forgotten, how the "Chief" had been shot by a Dewey County Deputy while resisting arrest, left in the yellowing pages of old newspapers in an archive in Oklahoma City. Except for the memory of a little girl, Mona Violet, who had taken the opportunity to see a "real Indian" as Powderface's body lay in wait for a Coroner's Inquest in her sleepy little town.

Today, Hunter was joined by Professor Terence Keel to discuss his book Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence. Hunter and Terrance discussed the history of the coroner's office and how they are able to use the five categories of death classification to make it impossible to hold people accountable for death's in custody.       Guest: Terence Keel, Professor, UCLA, Author, Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence   Resources: Contact Terence and Pick up a Copy of the Book Here https://www.terencekeel.com/     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

The harrowing stories of people who narrowly survived Cyclone Gabrielle and lost their loved ones are being heard in the Hastings District Court this week. Coroner Erin Woolley is investigating the deaths of 19 people who died in 2023 as a result of the cyclone and the Auckland Anniversary Weekend floods. Hawke's Bay Tairawhiti Reporter Alexa Cook has the story.

Julie Hatton was 22 years old when she died from a gunshot wound at Darreen Station in 1978, leaving behind her 10-week-old daughter, Natalie. While her death was ruled a suicide, Natalie questions that conclusion, pointing to missing evidence and concerns raised by a former attending police officer. Natalie joins us to explain why she’s appealing the Coroner's decision against an inquest, and we encourage listeners to hear the deeper investigation in Graeme Crowley's podcast, The Guarantor. You can keep up with the developments of this case in The Guarantor Facebook Group. You can watch our episodes by visiting our Youtube Channel here. Join our Facebook Group here.

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence (Beacon Press, 2025) reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Dr. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability.The Coroner's Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Dr. Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate, document, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner's Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence. Our guest is: Dr. Terence Keel, who is an award-winning scholar, the founding director of the BioCritical Studies Lab, and a professor of human biology, society, and African-American studies at UCLA. He received fellowships from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health, and is the author of Divine Variations, and The Coroner's Silence.

The alarm's being raised on sextortion, and ways young people can get help. A Coroner's found an 18-year-old took his life hours after sharing intimate images with someone pretending to be a young Timaru woman. The scammer - who was later traced to Africa - demanded $5000 and threatened to share their conversation. Netsafe's Chief Online Safety Officer Sean Lyons says young people should ask parents or others for support. He says the last thing they should do is hide it. "Because it is that shame, it is that horror that's on many young people - and specifically, the young and their vulnerability." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nancy Guthrie case has forced a national conversation about what happens when the wrong people handle the most critical moments of an investigation. In Tucson, the questions have centered on staffing decisions, sidelined veterans, and whether competence or loyalty determined who was in the room. This five-part series has traced that same failure across decades and jurisdictions. And in this final episode, it comes down to something so basic it defies belief: a family that found their own son's body in an area law enforcement claimed they already searched.Alonzo Brooks was twenty-three years old. Mixed race — Mexican and Black. He went to a house party in the tiny Kansas town of La Cygne in April 2004. He was one of only three Black men among a hundred guests. The FBI's own summary states that attendees directed racial slurs at him. His friends left at different times through miscommunication, leaving him alone with no ride home. He never came back.The Linn County Sheriff's Office searched. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation searched. The FBI was contacted. They found his boots and hat. They didn't find Alonzo. A month later, his family put on orange vests, walked to a creek behind the farmhouse, and found his body in under an hour — less than seven hundred feet from where he was last seen alive.Then a coroner ruled the cause of death undetermined. That coroner — Dr. Erik Mitchell — had been forced to resign from a previous position in New York after an investigation found he had removed organs without family consent and improperly stored body parts. That single ruling shut the case down for sixteen years. In 2020, the FBI exhumed the body. The Armed Forces Medical Examiner ruled it a homicide — exactly what the family had been saying all along. No arrests have been made. The reward stands at a hundred thousand dollars.The Guthrie case is still open. The people making the calls right now — who handles the evidence, who leads the search, who makes the critical determinations — will decide whether Nancy's family gets answers. This series exists because every one of these families deserved better. And because the families still waiting deserve to know what it costs when the wrong people are in the room.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Coroner says 14 people died in suspected suicides after their release from prison over the last three years. Parolees have described being thrown into the outside world without support, and say more psychological support is needed. The Corrections Department told RNZ it does not record the number of suicides. Parolees say Corrections doesn't record the data because it would only make them look bad. Finn Blackwell has more.

Coming up in the news: A one‑year conditional discharge for assaulting police, with prison looming if she reoffends Plus, a new sitting of the Coroner's Court begins Monday, but the case list is still under wraps.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Terence Keel. Classified as a black male, Dr. Keel is a "Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles where [he teaches] in the Department of African American Studies and the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics." Dr. Keel also directs "the UCLA Lab for BioCritical Studies and [serves] as the Advisor for Structural Competency and Innovation for the UCLA Simulation Center at the David Geffen School of Medicine." In the midst of all this constructive work, Dr. Keel found time to visit Seattle's Elliott Bay Books to discuss his new tome, The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence. The text examines the how large numbers of black males and non-white males in general die under suspicious circumstances in officer custody. Dr. Keel notes that White coroners and medical examiners have a history of excluding black people from this profession and skillfully using language to conceal the wrongful death of black male prisoners. Gus noted at least one double negative and a plethora of curious usages of the pronoun "we." "We" don't practice White Supremacy and cage black dudes. The text also suggests that White people who practice Racism have a vision impairment — i.e., black males are invisible — and strains to insist that 'everyone' is vulnerable and could die in custody under the current System of White Supremacy. Logic and the record of hamburger-munching, convicted mass murderer Dylann Storm Roof says this ain't so. #AtTheHandsOfPersonsUnknown #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

When your neighbors don't like nudity, head to a nudist colony! On today's episode, Andrea, Bella, and Jakob talked about a lot of different topics today and even got to mention yellow thong bikini bottoms. In the first season of HBO's TV show Neighbors, episode six features a local man who believes he is being wronged by his neighbors and others around San Diego. Why? He likes to work out in the front yard of his property which has neighbors concerned.

Content WarningThis episode contains discussions of domestic abuse, poisoning, and death. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 39: The Balham Mystery. April 1876—a successful barrister collapses in his bedroom after drinking from a bedside water jug. For three agonizing days, doctors begged him to name his poisoner. He never would. This is the story of Charles Bravo, and the Victorian murder that has never been solved.Behind the elegant facade of The Priory, a villa in Balham, South London, lay a tangle of secrets: a wealthy widow's scandalous past, a controlling husband who knew everything, and a companion with everything to lose.The VictimCharles Delauney Turner Bravo was thirty years old when he died. A barrister called to the bar, Charles came from a prosperous family of Portuguese Jewish ancestry. He was ambitious, charming, and by all accounts, determined to control every aspect of his household—including his wife's considerable fortune. Charles married Florence Campbell Ricardo in December 1875, knowing full well about her four-year affair with the famous hydropathy physician Dr. James Gully. What should have been a fresh start for Florence became something else entirely: a marriage built on leverage and suspicion.The CrimeOn the evening of April 18, 1876, Charles Bravo dined at The Priory with his wife Florence and her companion, Jane Cannon Cox. He retired to his bedroom around 8:30pm. Shortly after, servants heard a bedroom door crash open. Charles staggered into the hallway, his face contorted in agony, crying out for hot water. Jane Cox reached him first—a detail that would later prove crucial.Charles had been poisoned with antimony, likely administered in his bedside water jug. The dose was massive: 20-40 grains of tartar emetic, ten times the lethal amount. For three days, as doctors fought to save him, Charles was asked repeatedly who had poisoned him. His only answer: "I have told you all I know."The InvestigationCharles Bravo died at 5:20am on April 21, 1876. The first inquest returned an open verdict—insufficient evidence to determine what had happened. But public outrage demanded answers. A second inquest, lasting 23 days and calling over 40 witnesses, became a Victorian sensation.Florence Bravo took the stand and admitted everything: the affair with Gully, a pregnancy, a possible miscarriage. Dr. James Gully, 66 years old and once one of England's most respected physicians, saw his reputation destroyed. Jane Cox, whose position in the household was under threat from Charles's cost-cutting, gave contradictory testimony that convinced no one.The verdict: "Wilful murder by person or persons unknown." Three suspects. No conviction. No justice.Historical ContextThe Bravo case emerged during a period when Victorian marriage laws trapped women in impossible situations. Florence had inherited £40,000 (approximately £5 million today) from her first husband, an alcoholic who died at 27. Yet as a married woman, she had limited control over her own life. Divorce required proving both adultery and cruelty—nearly impossible for women of her class.The case also highlighted Victorian England's reputation as a "poisoner's paradise." Antimony was readily available in most households, used to treat horses in stables. The science of toxicology was still developing, and many poisonings went undetected or unprosecuted.Sources (Chicago Notes-Bibliography format):Primary:The National Archives, Coroner's Inquest Records, Bravo Case (1876)Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foulplay/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. Professor Terence Keel's new book, "The Coroner's Silence" reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. ​In our latest, we talk with Prof. Keel about the complicity and silence of coroners in the police and in-custody deaths. Bio//Dr. Terence Keel (@TerenceKeel) a professor of human biology, society and African American studies at UCLA. His latest book is The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence.-------------------------
