When Dr. Bud Ransom retired last year, he also wanted to retire from being the Franklin County Coroner. However, finding a replacement has been a bit difficult. However, that all changed when the County Commission approved a contract with Dr. Altaf Hossain to become the new coroner for the 4th Judicial District. County Administrator Derek Brown spoke to commissioners:
Dr. Hossain has over 47 years of experience in the medical field, the majority in forensic science. After the meeting, he met with local law enforcement to go over ideas for a transition to his firm.
