Coroner

The Boone County Coroner's Office exists to provide the people of Boone County with a thorough investigation in the event of a death pursuant to the Illinois State Statute. The Coroner's Office is a law enforcement agency, which, as part of a system of checks and balances, investigates deaths that occur in the county elected. The investigation may include, but is not limited to, autopsy, toxicology tests, metabolic studies, X-rays, entomological studies, and personal, as well as psychiatric history. These procedures are done to determine the manner and  cause of death.
