Maui Chief of Police is also the Coroner

The same police chief, who was the incident commander for the Las Vegas Shooting, who was just put on as Police cheif of Maui before the disaster IS ALSO THE CORONER for the area?!?! WHAT?!

The chief of police or his authorized subordinate of the counties of Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai, and the medical examiner of the city and county of Honolulu, shall, ex officio, be the coroner for his respective county. Haw. Rev. Stat. § 841-1.
