On this episode of Community Conversation with Jeff Hoover, Russell County Coroner Mark Coots joins the show to talk about the work of the coroner’s office—from investigating deaths and working with law enforcement to issuing death certificates and helping families navigate the process. Coots also explains changes coming to Kentucky’s electronic death reporting system, how body donation programs at UK and UofL operate, and what inspires him to continue serving the community as he enters his third term.
