Mount St. Helens in 1980@mountsthelens1980.bsky.social |
Washington AG Slade Gordon and his office interpreted the state law to mean that coroners can only rule on the cause of death, not whether it occurred. The Asst. AG told the Columbian on 6/23, "A death certificate relates to the cause of death when the fact of death is already known."

That makes sense. As with other missing persons, you need a judge to make the determination. Back in 1972, for instance, Alaska juries heard evidence to determine that Reps. Begich and Boggs had died on a missing flight and their Congressional seats were therefore vacant.
