How will I know if I need to make a positive identification?

If a positive identification is necessary, the Coroner or Deputy Coroner will notify you of the procedure and where to report.  If you are a Banks County Resident you will be notified in person

If any personal items of the deceased are retained by the Coroner’s Office, you must possess and present a current photo identification card to pick up such items.  Any prescription medications collected during our investigation will be destroyed following the investigation and not returned to the family.
