Next year, Franklin County will be changing the organizational structure for its taxpayer-funded coroners who attend to around 150 deaths per year. According to the Adriondack Daily Enterprise, in an effort to improve coroner availability, the county will be reducing its number of elected coroners from four to two and will have each coroner appoint a deputy coroner to be on-call and provide coverage if the elected coroner isn’t available. County Manager Donna Kissane said the county has been talking about changing its model for about a decade.
