So the Chief of Police of Maui is also the Coroner for the island.  His name is John Pelletier.  He was also incident commander during the Las Vegas mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Country music festival.  Sus to say the least.  With the exception being that his secretary, a 30+yr employee of the Maui P.D. was killed in a car accident on 2/22 when her car crashed into a tree while she was chasing another car driven by a man that had just stolen her purse.  Did you get that, her car slammed into a tree, just like the others. 
  Who were the others.  The first one that made me "Notice" was the death of the Rolling Stone author, Micheal Hastings, whose article written about General Stanely McCyrstal inevitably ended the Generals military career. Then there was Stephen and Tina Densley who attened the Route 91 Harvest Country music festival in Las Vegas and gave a statement to police; they died in a car accident when their car slammed into a tree.  Their statements were never released.  Then there was Anne Heche and if you don't know what happened to her then it's worth looking into.  And then there was Terry Jones the long time Maui P.D. employee who died in a car accident back in early 2022.
  Now I'm not saying any of this is related, but it may be that Terry needed to be replaced so that the proper personel were in place when need be.  So let's wrap this up. as mentioned above, The Chief of Police of Maui is also the Coroner for the island.  So I asked A.I.

Q:  What would the over lapping areas of responsibility be for the chief of police and the position of coroner if both positions were assigned to the same person?
A.I.:  The overlapping areas of responsibility for the chief of police and the coroner would be:

• Investigating sudden, unexpected, or unnatural deaths.
• Determining the cause and manner of death.
• Ordering autopsies.
• Issuing death certificates.
• Complying with state and federal laws governing death investigations.
• Keeping records of death investigations.
• Presenting findings to the courts.

In some cases, the chief of police may also be responsible for:

• Appointing the coroner.
• Providing the coroner with staff and resources.
• Coordinating the coroner's activities with other law enforcement agencies.

However, it is important to note that the chief of police and the coroner are two distinct offices with different roles and responsibilities. The chief of police is responsible for enforcing the law and maintaining order, while the coroner is responsible for investigating deaths and determining their cause. It is important to have these two offices separate in order to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure that both offices are able to fulfill their respective duties effectively.

Here are some specific examples of how the roles of the chief of police and the coroner might overlap:

• If a police officer is called to the scene of a death, they may need to collect evidence that could be relevant to the coroner's investigation.
• The coroner may need to consult with the police if they have any questions about the circumstances of a death.
• The coroner may need to issue a warrant to the police if they need to search a property or seize evidence.
• The police may need to provide security for the coroner's investigation.

It is important for the chief of police and the coroner to work together closely to ensure that all aspects of a death investigation are handled properly. This includes sharing information, coordinating their efforts, and respecting each other's roles and responsibilities.
