What role does the medical examiner play in the investigation process?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Some police organizations wait to call the medical examiner until after the crime-scene technicians have conducted preliminary investigations on the crime scene. Investigators must realize that in almost all jurisdictions, the medical examiner will have jurisdiction over the body, so police without proper authorization may not move it.
