Kane County coroner to investigate hospice deaths, perform inquests
GENEVA – Kane County’s new coroner has announced new initiatives, including the resumption of inquests and random spot-checks of deaths in hospice.
Kane County Coroner Rob Russell said the policies come as a way of restoring trust in an office that had been hounded by scandal, and trust in hospices and similar institutions that care for those nearing the end of life.
Russell first publicly announced the random checks of hospice deaths Friday to a Kane County Board committee.
