Coroner candidates discuss need for autopsies

Bartholomew County Republican voters will be choosing between two candidates for county coroner in this year’s election, after long-time county coroner Larry Fisher decided not to run for re-election.

Funeral home director Ron Shadley is facing Columbus police patrolman Clayton Nolting.

We asked the candidates:

  • What will you use to guide you on how to handle the need for autopsies? What will you use to make those judgment calls?

Shadley:

04-22 Ron Shadley Question 5 Full

Nolting:

04-22 Clayton Nolting Question 5 Full

The winner of the Republican primary will face Democrat Paula Rothrock in the November election. Rothrock is unopposed in the primary.
