#1 The men drafted a resolution for Moritz to deliver to Lee: Resolved, that Mrs. Frances G. Lee shall have the everlasting gratitude of all those attending the Seminar in Legal Medicine at Harvard Medical School in 1944, and that all those present extend their profound thanks and appreciation for her philanthropy which has made possible the holding of these seminars.

#2 The coroner system of death investigation dates back to medieval England. The coroner was the royal judicial representative, and his primary duty was to collect money owed to the monarchy. He was also authorized to seize royal fishes and investigate shipwrecks and treasure troves.

#3 The first American coroner’s inquest took place in New Plymouth in 1635. The jury found that John Deacon, a fur trader’s servant in his twenties, died of bodily weakness caused by long fasting and weariness.

#4 The first known forensic autopsy in America was performed in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, on February 25, 1642. It was performed by George Binx, a Licentiate in Physicke who served as foreman on the coroner’s inquest investigating the death of a Native American youth shot by a blacksmith named John Dandy.
