Haunted Hollywood Hour

Unalive in LA - 175 Years of Los Angeles Coroners

October 16, 2025·50 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

The story of LA’s coroners goes all the way back to 1850 when President Millard Fillmore signed a bill making California the 31st state of the US. In its 175 year history, the department that investigates cause and manner of death has seen countless murders --- many of them high profile, all of them with a story to tell. Today on the show, we explore what LA's Medical Examiner has to teach us about human nature, life and death.CONTENT WARNING: This episode is all about death and the various ways people die. Much of the info from this episode comes from Death in Paradise by Tony Blanche and Brad Schreiber which was written in 1998. https://www.amazon.com/Death-Paradise-Illustrated-History-Department/dp/157544075XFollow Haunted Hollywood Hour on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/hauntedhollywoodhourpodcast/Want to send us a note?
