Fond du Lac County supervisors Tuesday evening approved the hiring of a new Chief Medical Examiner for the County. Dr. Erik Mitchell has 35 years experience as a medical examiner. He is from Kansas City, Kansas. Mitchell joined the County Board via Skype to talk about his qualifications and why he chose to work for Fond du Lac County. He told them he was very interested in running the medical examiner’s office. County Executive Al Buechel says Mitchell wasn’t their first choice, but one of three highly-qualified finalists for the position. He says, “He was very interested in being part of this office from day one even after we selected Dr. Zachariah, but when he decided not to come we immediately went to Dr. Mitchell to see if he was and its been good news. We should have him here July 9th.” Buechel says they have also recruited a young pathologist who will start in the medical examiner’s office on August 23rd.
