Sheridan County Commissioners Christi Haswell and Michael Arzy, along with County Coroner Dr. Robert Byrd, appeared on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to discuss the duties of the county coroner’s office.
The Sheridan County Coroner works jointly with all law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over a death investigation. After a scene is secured and first responders assist anyone who requires aid, the coroner is called in to measure distances, examine and photograph remains. The coroner with jurisdiction then takes custody of the body.
Dr. R. Byrd
The Sheridan County Coroner’s report for death investigations may include diagrams, evidence and identification procedures, interviews, psychological and social histories, medical histories and consultations with physicians, radiology or DNA analysis, along with any other methods necessary to determine the cause and manner of death.
Before taking office, Byrd was a dental surgeon, forensic odontologist (forensic dentist) and combat veteran who earned the rank of colonel in the Wyoming Army National Guard.
