Dr. James Bordelon had only been on the job as an assistant coroner for a few months last year when he was sent to a remote area of Avoyelles Parish to investigate the discovery of the body of a murder victim. He succeeded long-time coroner Dr. L.J. Mayeux in January. In his first four months as coroner, Bordelon has investigated 166 deaths, including five homicides, two suicides and seven victims of coronavirus.

First four months busy for new coroner

If television crime shows can be believed, the coroner's only job is to do autopsies on murder victims.

Of course, television crime shows aren't true-to-life documentaries.
