Today Dr. Clark released his 2023 annual report. You can read it here: We also enjoyed hosting LOPA and hearing heartfelt stories from both a donor family as well as a heart transplant recipient.https://9e4037ac-9cff-4ebd-bea0-52a9a78dc72a.filesusr.com/ugd/e8adc7_cec0b666eac740a1a4d3a73e5d12d4ba.pdf

"Donate Life" We all hear and see that phrase often. Devin Repath, and his family made the decision to do just that through Devin's choice to be an organ donor. That decision saved 7 people's lives today. In the midst of one family's tragedy, there are many others that are very grateful.



We have posted a press release related to the death of Devin Repath. It can be seen under "press releases" on the ebrcoroner.com webpage at this link:

National Nurses Week! We celebrate the amazing nurses that work with us that respond to survivors of sexual assault.

100 days into 2023, our office has investigated 75 overdose deaths. The vast majority involve fentanyl and the age range of those who have died is from 1 year old to 66 years old. Fentanyl respects no age, race or socioeconomic boundaries.

Any illicit substance purchased on the street has a high probability of being adulterated with fentanyl. The potency potential of fentanyl is so high that the use of any illicitly obtained substance could be fatal.

I have released my 2022 Annual Report for the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office. It can be found here:
