The Mission of the Thurston County Coroner

Gary Warnock
Thurston County Coroner |
The difficult and complicated work of medicolegal
death investigation is done with the intention of providing
thoughtful and caring attention to the circumstances, time and
causes of death to those who die within the jurisdiction of the
Thurston County Coroner’s Office.
Representatives of the Coroner’s Office offer compassionate
support to individuals and family members at the scene and/or upon
notification of a death, and provide complete and comprehensive
investigative documentation to ascertain an accurate determination
of cause and manner of death.
At all hours of the day or night, under rigorous weather
conditions, and in the face of complicated emotions, the
Thurston County Coroner’s Office brings empathy and
understanding to the challenges of medicolegal death investigation
for the citizens of Thurston County and the community at large. |
