It's Around Here Somewhere

June 19, 2007

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick suspended the state's chief medical examiner after his office lost the body of a man who had been brought in for an autopsy. The search for the body was turned over to the state police. The chief medical examiner, Dr. Mark A. Flomenbaum, was appointed by then Gov. Mitt Romney in 2005 with a charge to straighten up the office, which had a record of serious errors.
