Douglas County Coroner under state investigation
The Georgia Coroner’s Training Council convened a high-stakes hearing on Tuesday, May 5, to address explosive allegations of statutory noncompliance within the Douglas County Coroner’s Office. The investigation centers on claims that Coroner Renee Godwin allowed deputy coroners to conduct death investigations, sign official reports, and handle death certificates without being properly sworn in or bonded—a direct violation of Georgia law.
