MOUNT VERNON — The Skagit County coroner’s office now has it’s own morgue, located in Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon.
Coroner Daniel Dempsey told the Skagit Valley Herald it will help in properly storing evidence for criminal investigations.
His office handles autopsies on about 80 accidental or suspicious deaths a year. Until now, most Skagit County autopsies have been conducted in larger counties.
