Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office | Annual Report 20152

2015 was a busy year for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office (CCMEO). With the ongoing support of President Preckwinkle, the Board of Commissioners and the Advisory Committee, we have been able to achieve all remaining goals set when I was hired in September 2012. Our achievements are directly linked to the hard work and dedication of our staff.

In 2014, the CCMEO regained provisional accreditation status from the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME). A single phase II deficiency stood in our way of full accreditation --independent certification of our Toxicology Laboratory. Due to the hard work of our toxicologists, Dr. Peter Koin and Dr. Ponni Arunkumar, the lab was accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) in December 2015. With this deficiency rectified, documentation was submitted to NAME and full accreditation was granted effective January 2016. Having reached these goals, our daily quest toward improvement and excellence must continue. We are now positioning the office for accreditation by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) within five years.

During 2015, we continued to modify and improve the data analysis features of our cloud-based case management system in response to increasing requests for statistics. We can now track Latino deaths more easily and better tally deaths-in-custody and police-related shootings. Working with our public information officer, the office has been able to provide real-time data to policy makers, partner agencies and the media.

One of our 2015 initiatives was to apply for increased grant funding for the office in an effort to save money for the taxpayers of Cook County. We were awarded a $28,000 Coverdell grant to decrease toxicology turnaround time and a $1.6 million dollar grant from Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant program for mass disaster readiness.

Several epidemics in Cook County in 2015 gained significant media attention — gun violence and opiate-related deaths. The number of gun-related deaths increased over the prior two years, particularly in certain ZIP codes on the south and west sides of Chicago. Concurrently, heroin deaths increased followed by a surge in fentanyl-related overdoses beginning in late September. Our physicians and staff actively participate in several task forces created to address these crises. Details on these types of death are included on maps at the end of this report.

It has been an honor to serve the residents of Cook County in 2015.

Respectfully,

Stephen J. Cina, MD, FCAP, D-ABMDIChief Medical Examiner

MISSIONThe mission of the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office is to ensure public health and safety by performing autopsies and postmortem examinations to determine cause and manner of death for individuals who die in Cook County.

VISION & COMMITMENTIt is the intent of the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office to create a regional forensic center of excellence for the practice and advancement of forensic science for the Midwest. Through the recruitment of high quality staff, training of current staff and improvements to the existing facility, the Medical Examiner’s Office is embracing President Preckwinkle’s vision of improved customer service, transparency, accountability and innovative technology.

HISTORY OF THEMEDICAL EXAMINER’S OFFICEAs a result of a 1972 referendum, the Office of the Medical Examiner of Cook County was established on December 6, 1976, and the Office of the Coroner was abolished.

A medical examiner differs from a coroner in that a medical examiner is an appointed official who is required to have pertinent qualifications, while a coroner is an elected official who is not required to have any particular qualifications.

In Cook County, the Medical Examiner must be a physician, licensed to practice medicine in the State of Illinois and certified by the American Board of Pathology in anatomic and forensic pathology. In Cook County, the President of the Board of Commissioners with the advice and consent of the Board of Commissioners appoints the Medical Examiner.

The Office is the only Medical Examiner system in Illinois and covers half the population of the state. The Office of the Medical Examiner plays a vital role in the administration of justice and protection of public health.

MEDICAL EXAMINER’SOFFICE OPERATIONSJURISDICTION

Under Illinois law and local ordinance, the Medical Examiner is both required and empowered to determine the cause and manner of death. The Medical Examiner investigates any human death that falls within any or all of the following categories:

• Criminal violence• Suicide• Accident• Suddenly when in apparent good condition• Unattended by a practicing licensed physician• Suspicious or unusual circumstances• Criminal abortion• Poisoning or attributable to an adverse reaction to drugs and/or alcohol• Disease constituting a threat to public health• Injury or toxic agent resulting from employment• During some medical diagnostic or therapeutic procedures• In any prison or penal institution• When involuntarily confined in jail, prison hospitals or other institutions or in police custody• When any human body is to be cremated, dissected or buried at sea• When a dead body is brought into a new medico-legal jurisdiction without proper medical certification

DEPARTMENTS

The Medical Examiner’s Office is organized in ten (9) divisions:• Administration • Pathology• Autopsy • Photography• Intake • Radiology• Investigations • Toxicology• Histology

PRIMARY MEDICAL EXAMINER FUNCTIONS

Death InvestigationsThe Investigations Division answers initial calls from mandated reporters concerning the death of an individual within the County. Investigators determine if the deceased falls within jurisdiction of the Medical Examiner’s Office and performs scene investigations.

Autopsies and Postmortem ExaminationsForensic pathologists perform complete autopsy examinations or external examinations as necessary to determine cause and manner of death. Forensic pathologists also provide expert testimony in criminal and civil matters at deposition or trial. Forensic pathologists meet with law enforcement, state’s attorneys, public defenders, and family as appropriate. Finally, forensic pathologies provide prompt notification to respective agencies such as the Department of Health, of any death due to a reportable disease, unsafe consumer product, and unsafe work environment.

Page 8: Annal eport 2015 - CookCountyIL.gov · 2016. 6. 24. · Standardization (ISO) within five years. During 2015, we continued to modify and improve the data analysis features of our

OTHER SERVICES PROVIDEDOther services provided by the Medical Examiner’s Office include:

• Providing vital statistics with cause and manner of death for inclusion on the death certificate• Preparing toxicology reports which list any foreign substance found in body• Coordinating and obtaining consultations when appropriate• Processing cremation permits for funeral directors• Teaching medical students, pathology residents, law enforcement personnel, and international observers• Conducting award-winning research• Providing statistics to third parties to optimize public health

PROVIDING INFORMATIONFOR FAMILIESIn addition to its vital role in law enforcement and public health, one of the most important duties of the Medical Examiner’s Office is to provide information to families who have lost a loved one – often suddenly and unexpectedly. On top of this sudden loss, it may be the first time families have dealt with the Medical Examiner’s Office.

The Medical Examiner’s Office works with families to assist them through the process. The Medical Examiner’s Office investigators and clerical staff are there to help, and the staff of Forensic Pathologists can assist family members trying to understand how the death occurred. In some situations, the Medical Examiner will not be able to discuss details of the case until the autopsy report is issued.

AUTOPSIES AND EXTERNAL EXAMINATIONSAn autopsy is a thorough examination of the body, inside and out, performed to document or rule out injuries and diseases. The autopsy procedure is performed by a medical doctor with special forensic training in recognizing the appearance of injuries and the effects of diseases. An autopsy may take 2 to 3 hours, or possibly longer, to perform and is often followed by laboratory tests, some of which can take months to complete. In cases where an autopsy may not be warranted, an examination of only the external surfaces of the body is performed.

REQUESTING AN AUTOPSY REPORTFamilies can request copies of postmortem reports through the Medical Examiner’s Office Medical Record Department.

INFORMATION RELATED TO PENDING CASESAfter the medical examination is complete, it is sometimes necessary for us to perform further analysis, be it medical or investigative in nature, to determine the exact cause and manner of death. In this instance, a Pending Death Certificate will be issued. Disposition of the deceased may take place with this Pending death certificate. Once the forensic pathologist has determined the final cause of death, the Medical Records Department will notify the funeral home. At this point, the funeral home can obtain certified copies of the final death certificate for the family through the Illinois Department of Vital Records.

DEATH CERTIFICATESFamilies can obtain certified copies of death certificates by contacting the funeral home or Cook County Clerk’s Office of Vital Records. There are some suburbs which operate their own registrar. Families are advised to call the funeral home or the Medical Examiner’s Office for the contact information of the registrar that handled a decedent’s death certificate.

RECOVERING PROPERTY OF DECEDENTSThe Medical Examiner’s Office inventories all personal belongings of the decedent upon arrival to the office. Families can recover personal effects (money, jewelry, wallets, etc.) that belong to the deceased by contacting the Medical Examiner’s Office. Property will be turned over to the executor, Power of Attorney (POA), legal next of kin or the funeral home retained by the legal next of kin. Photo ID’s are required to recover property. The Medical Examiner’s Office may ask the requestor to provide a birth certificate, marriage license or other papers to prove the relationship to the deceased. Unclaimed property will be held by the Medical Examiner’s Office for one year. After one year, the property is subject to sale by auction.

VIRTUAL CEMETERYThe final disposition sites of the indigents buried/cremated by the Medical Examiner’s Office can now be found on the open data portal for Cook County Government.In February 2014, the Medical Examiner’s Office began utilizing cremation as a dignified alternative to burial for indigent remains. Cremated remains are kept at the Medical Examiner’s Office for two years and may be picked up by the family.

UNIDENTIFIED PERSONSThe Medical Examiner’s Office has a website to provide up-to-date descriptions of unidentified remains whose cases have been processed. Individuals are able to contact the Medical Examiners’ Office Investigations Department regarding matching one of the unidentified bodies to the identity of a missing person.

UNCLAIMED PERSONSIf someone is a next of kin to an unclaimed person, they can contact our Indigent Coordinator to claim that person. Unclaimed indigents will be cremated at the County’s expense within 60 days of admission to the Medical Examiner’s Office as dictated by the Cook County Medical Examiner Ordinance.

2015 HIGHLIGHTS

ACCREDITATION OF THE TOXICOLOGY LAB BY THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) awarded accreditation to the Cook County Medical Examiners’ Toxicology laboratory based on the results of an on-site inspection. The laboratory is one of the 7,700 nationally recognized CAP-accredited facilities. The CAP accreditation process is designed to ensure the highest standard of care and the inspectors examine the laboratory’s records, quality control of procedures, staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record and overall management.

FULL ACCREDITATION BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS

The National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME) Accreditation Standards have been prepared and revised by NAME for the purpose of improving the quality of the medicolegal investigation of death in this country. Accreditation applies to offices and systems, not individual practitioners. The standards emphasize policies and procedures, not professional work product. The standards represent minimum standards for an adequate medicolegal system, not guidelines. NAME accreditation is an endorsement by NAME that the office or system provides an adequate environment for a medical examiner in which to practice his or her profession and provides reasonable assurances that the office or system well serves its jurisdiction. It is the objective of NAME that the application of these standards will aid materially in developing and maintaining a high caliber of medicolegal investigation of death for the communities and jurisdictions in which they operate.

NAME accreditation is important to the Medical Examiner’s Office because:

1. It lends credibility when Medical Examiner’s Office staff testifies in court that the office follows nationally accepted standards.

2. It fosters trust with the public.

3. Recent recommendation to the US Attorney General by the National Commission on Forensic Sciences states that all ME / Coroner Offices should be accredited by 2020.

In late 2012, the Cook County Medical Examiners’ Office had 27 major deficiencies to overcome to attain full accreditation. Almost all policies and procedures were rewritten, some of the best talent around the country was recruited, processes were streamlined and staff recommitted themselves to getting better every day. With President Preckwinkle’s support, the office has been able to improve service to families, funeral homes, the legal system, law enforcement, public health and the media. Our patients get accurate diagnoses, respect and dignity they deserve. The office has attained full accreditation by the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME) and provides the highest quality of service to the residents of Cook County, as required by NAME.

INDIGENT BURIAL: DIGNIFIED FINAL DISPOSITIONTraditionally, the Medical Examiner’s Office buried all indigents at the County’s expense. However, in early 2014, Cook County ceased this practice and introduced cremations as the primary means of dignified final disposition. The process of declaring a deceased individual as indigent involves a partnership with support agencies such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Cook County Public Administrator. In 2015, the Medical Examiner’s Office hired a full time Indigent Burial Coordinator to manage the indigent disposition process. The County will continue to bury unidentified and fetal remains.

COLLABORATIVE EFFORTSLOCAL MEDICAL EDUCATION AGREEMENTS

Resident and Medical Student RotationsThe Medical Examiner’s Office has agreements with several universities in which medical students and residents participate in one to three month rotations to observe pathologists conducting examinations, including autopsies, in order to determine the cause and manner of death. The following are the institutions which participate in this program:

• Loyola University Chicago Medical Center• McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University• Midwestern University• Rush University Medical Center• University of Chicago Medical Center• University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)

Mortuary SciencesThe Medical Examiner’s Office has agreements with Malcolm X College and Worsham College of Mortuary Science that facilitates the donation of indigent bodies to Malcolm X College for use by mortuary students in furtherance of their study of mortuary science. These agreements are in accordance with the Illinois Cadaver Act and are a revenue generator as the school pays a lab use fee to the Medical Examiner’s Office.

Grief CounselingThe Medical Examiner’s Office entered into an agreement in November 2013 with the University of Illinois – Jane Addams School of Social Work that allows students to assist the families of patients by providing grief counseling.

NATIONAL MEDICAL EDUCATION AGREEMENTSThe Medical Examiner’s Office has an agreement with Des Moines University for students with interest in forensic medicine observe autopsies and learn about the practice of Forensic Medicine.

The Medical Examiner’s Office also has an agreement with Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences for medical students to observe pathologists conduct examinations including autopsies, in order to determine the cause and manner of death.

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL EDUCATION AGREEMENTSThe Medical Examiner’s Office has an agreement with the University of Rome, Department of Anatomy, Histology, Forensic Medicine and Orthopedics and the Medical University of Gdansk (Gdansk, Poland) that allows visiting professors to rotate through the Medical Examiner’s Office and gain valuable experience on examinations, especially in the examination of gunshot victims – a process that is not so common in other countries.

ILLINOIS VIOLENT DEATH REPORTING SYSTEMThe Medical Examiner’s Office shares data with the Illinois Violent Death Reporting System (IVDRS). The IVDRS links data from various public health and criminal justice sources to present the fullest possible picture of the circumstances surrounding violent death in Illinois. IVDRS helps Illinois policy makers analyze violence-related deaths, identify risk factors and develop prevention efforts.

ORGAN/TISSUE DONATIONThe Medical Examiner’s Office has agreements with two programs related to organ/tissue donation.

Anatomical Gift Association of IllinoisThe Medical Examiner’s Office and the Anatomical Gift Association of Illinois facilitate donations of indigent bodies for medical teaching in accordance with the Illinois Cadaver Act.

Gift of HopeThe Medical Examiner’s Office has an agreement with the Gift of Hope to donate organs and tissue upon consent of the next of kin. The Gift of Hope will occasionally request to procure tissues postmortem at the Medical Examiner’s Office. Each organ donor can save up to seven lives and each tissue donor can improve 50 lives.

CONSULTATIONSThe Medical Examiner’s Office requests radiology consultation from John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County on complicated cases involving extensive radiology as a means to determine cause and manner of death.

FELLOWSHIPThe Medical Examiner’s Office offers a one-year Forensic Pathology fellowship program for two graduates of an accredited residency program in general pathology. This program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

The selected fellows receive training in scene investigation, forensic toxicology, firearms, odontology, autopsy techniques, injury pattern recognition and anthropology. In addition to this training, the selected fellows each perform approximately 250 autopsies during the program.

TOURSThe Medical Examiner’s Office limits the number of tours of the facility out of respect for the deceased and their families and to avoid any disruption to daily operations. Tours are provided to students in health-related fields, fire personnel, law enforcement personnel and trainees, and government agencies involved in the medicolegal justice system. For more information, contact Mary Marik, Registered Health Information Administrator, at (312) 997-4430.
