Dr. Steven Lorch, head of the Michigan State Police
Northville Post forensics lab; Rabbi Boruch E. Levin of
Hebrew Memorial Chapel; and Dr. Dragovic. On a July 12
tour of the new medical examiner's facility in Pontiac,
Dragovic listened to concerns about performing autopsies, gen-
erally not desirable under Jewish law, and performing the pro-
cedure on Sunday, often the only option for Orthodox Jews
who, by law, must be buried within 24 hours. Currently, the
medical examiner's office does not do autopsies on Sunday.
Dragovic assured the group he would raise the issue with the
proper county government committee.
