Yes - you read that right - the medical examiner confirmed the DEATH of the “assassination attempt” spectator. Not the cause of death or the time of death.
The “assassination attempt” on candidate Trump was bizarre in ways too numerous to count. But there cannot be anything more bizarre than the following statement that appeared in the The Butler Eagle:
Butler County Coroner William F. Young III was unable to attend the campaign rally for former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13, because of other engagements, but he found himself at the Butler Farm Show grounds after midnight Sunday to examine the victim who was shot at the rally.
Young and a deputy coroner confirmed the death of Buffalo Township’s Corey Comperatore early Sunday morning and sent his body to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner to complete the autopsy.
Presumably, if the body of Comperatore was left at the scene of the campaign rally, he was pronounced dead many hours prior.
More importantly - why was the autopsy then performed by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner given that the death occurred in Butler County? Such autopsies are the bread and butter function of the coroner’s office.
And don't they usually stick deceased humans in coolers asap?
Also, there doesn't seem to be any William F. Young III listed as working in the Butler County Coroner Office.
