The Department of Post-Mortem Examiners created by Chapter

is directed by a commission composed of a representative of the
State Department of Health, the Commissioner of Health of Balti-
more City, the Superintendent of Maryland State Police, and the
Professors of Pathology at The Johns Hopkins University and the
University of Maryland. The Department replaced the coroners of
Baltimore City by a Chief and two Assistant Medical Examiners, and
the county coroners by Deputy Medical Examiners. In 1957 the Gen-
eral Assembly authorized three Assistant Medical Examiners and an
Assistant Toxicologist. In 1965 an additional Assistant Medical Exam-
iner and an Immunochemist were added and in 1969 a Deputy Chief
Medical Examiner and an additional Toxicologist were authorized The
Commission appoints all personnel. The medical examiners investigate
violent and suspicious deaths or deaths unattended by a physician
throughout the State. They must file a report of all deaths investi-
gated with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The records of the Department are open for inspection to the
family of the deceased and are acceptable in. Court as evidence of the
facts contained. The county pays the Deputy Medical Examiners for
each death investigated. The State Comptroller pays the salaries of
the Chief Medical Examiner, the Assistant Medical Examiners, and
the Toxicologists, and the expenses of performing autopsies in the
counties and the transportation of bodies incident thereto. All other
expenses of the Department are paid by the City of Baltimore (Code
