L.A. County supervisors order an in-depth report on body part procurement in the morgue after Times investigation.
Full Coverage: The Times’ investigation into how companies that harvest body parts upend death investigations
Under the motion, county counsel and coroner officials must complete a report within 90 days that examines the past and current practices in the morgue as California has allowed procurement companies like OneLegacy to recover tissues or organs from deceased donors whose deaths fall under the jurisdiction of the coroner.
Coroner officials did not speak at the meeting. Jonathan Lucas, the county’s chief medical examiner-coroner, previously told The Times that he believed his office had been able to use hospital records and other evidence to answer any questions left by the procurement of tissues or organs. He said he did not believe that any criminal investigation or cause-of-death finding had been impeded by procurements.
