We understand that some followers have asked why individuals who died in Berks County are transported to Lehigh County or other counties for the autopsy examination.

At times, our assigned forensic pathologist may not be available due to scheduling, court obligations, or other professional responsibilities. In those circumstances, the Berks County Coroner’s Office has mutual aid agreements and professional contracts with neighboring counties to ensure that examinations are completed in a timely and professional manner.

This cooperation between counties is common practice and helps ensure that families, investigators, and the community continue to receive the highest level of service without unnecessary delay.
