****UPDATE****
Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we were able to locate a cousin who does not live locally and notify her of her passing.

Thank you to everyone who shared our post, reached out with information, and helped us make this possible. Your willingness to help ensured that her family received the notification they deserved. We truly appreciate our community coming together to make a difference.

The Warrick County Coroner’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating family members of a deceased individual.

Our office, with assistance from the Greene County Coroner’s Office, has been working diligently to locate next of kin. We have successfully identified and contacted a few relatives; however, at this time, none of those individuals are able to assist.

We are hoping to locate additional family members who may be able to help.

If you are a relative, or if you have information that may help us connect with family, please contact the Warrick County Coroner’s Office directly.

Throughout September, the Warrick County Coroner’s Office will be using our page to help bring awareness to su***de prevention and the impact su***de has on families, friends, and our entire community.

We will be sharing meaningful stories, highlighting prevention efforts, providing helpful resources, and starting conversations that we hope can make a difference.

As an office, we see firsthand the devastating impact su***de leaves behind. We believe prevention begins with awareness, education, connection, and making sure people know where to turn when they, or someone they love needs help.

Please follow along, share these posts, and help us spread the message throughout September. You never know who may need to see it. 💜

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

In the spirit of transparency, the Warrick County Coroner’s Office is releasing our year-to-date statistics covering January 1, 2026 through August 1, 2026.

We believe transparency in public service matters. These numbers belong to our community, and we believe public interest, awareness, and understanding are important parts of identifying areas where education and prevention efforts may be needed.

Statistics are more than numbers on a page. They help us recognize trends, identify concerns, and better understand the needs of the community we serve.

Transparency creates awareness. Awareness creates opportunity for change.

Who knew the Warrick County Coroner's Office would become the hottest pencil factory in town?

What an incredible night at Boonville Police Departments National Night Out! We had an absolute blast with everyone who stopped by our booth. Together, we decorated and handed out over 250 pencils to some very creative kids (and let's be honest, a few competitive adults too!).

Thank you to everyone who came out to support this amazing community event. It's always great to step away from our everyday work and spend time with the families we serve in a much happier setting.

Warrick County's First-Ever World First Aid Day!

Have you ever wished you knew what to do in an emergency? Now is your chance to learn lifesaving skills that could make all the difference.

Join us to learn:
Hands-Only CPR
How to administer Narcan
What to do when someone is choking
Stop the Bleed and more!

Far too often, the Warrick County Coroner's Office hears stories where first aid was delayed because bystanders simply didn't know what to do. That's exactly why Coroner Alissa Enright brought the idea of hosting a World First Aid Day event to the Warrick County Health Department. Together, we're working to give our community the knowledge and confidence to step in when every second counts.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, coach, teacher, or just someone who wants to be prepared, this event is for you.

Help us spread the word by sharing this post, and join us as we make Warrick County safer, one lifesaving skill at a time. We hope to see you there!

Here is a great article that further explains the My Heart Your Heart Pacemaker Reutilization Program that the Warrick County Coroner's Office is now proud to participate in.

The Warrick County Coroner's Office has announced a new partnership that gives pacemakers it takes out during autopsies a new life.

07/21/2026

The Warrick County Coroner's Office is excited to announce a new partnership with the University of Michigan Frankel Cardiovascular Center's Project My Heart Your Heart Pacemaker Reutilization Program!

Most people don't realize that after an autopsy, pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are typically considered medical waste. Once they have been examined as part of the death investigation, they are normally discarded.

Through this incredible partnership, and with authorization from the FDA, the University of Michigan is able to safely refurbish eligible pacemakers and defibrillators and provide them to carefully selected, approved countries where these life-saving devices are desperately needed.

We are proud to announce that the Warrick County Coroner's Office has made its first official donation to this program, and we look forward to many more in the future.

This opportunity would not be possible without the generosity of families who, during one of the most difficult times in their lives, choose to give the gift of life and hope to someone they've never met.

Even after death, a legacy of compassion can continue. ❤️

Thank you to the University of Michigan Frankel Cardiovascular Center and the Project My Heart Your Heart team for allowing us to be a part of this meaningful mission.

Today, the Warrick County Coroner's Office had the privilege of hosting the Mass Fatalities Planning and Response for Rural Communities training at the Phoenix Event Center. The course was instructed by Arbie Goings with FEMA and is a collaborative training effort between FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security.

This training marks the first step in updating Warrick County's Mass Fatality Plan, a joint effort between the Warrick County Coroner's Office and Warrick County EMA. EMA brought this important initiative to our office, and we are proud to be working together to ensure our county is prepared for the unthinkable.

We were honored to welcome attendees from across Indiana, with participants traveling from as far away as Delaware County and neighboring counties including Pike, Spencer, and Vanderburgh and many more.

Warrick County was exceptionally well represented, with participants from Newburgh, Yankeetown, Ohio Township, Chandler, Boonville and Skelton Owen Township Fire Departments, along with Warrick County EMA, the Warrick County Health Department, Deaconess Health System, the Warrick County Coroner's Office staff, the Warrick County Sheriff's Office, Warrick County Dispatch, and Titzer Funeral Home.

Throughout the day, participants worked through a realistic mass fatality scenario, discussing coordination, communication, and the unique challenges these incidents present. While we all hope a mass fatality event never occurs in our community, planning and training before a disaster strikes is what allows agencies to respond efficiently and serve victims and their families with dignity and professionalism.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to our partners who continue to invest in preparedness. Today was an important first step in ensuring Warrick County is ready should we ever be called upon to respond to a mass fatality incident.
