Whatnext - my guess is that Union county doesn’t have a coroner and I’m sure Franklin counties are way to busy with the murders here.
autopsies on water type victims are pretty nasty to say the least. Skin just falls off after days in the water
Why is Licking county doing an autopsy on a body found in Union county?
