In Feb. 2024, 2-month-old Onyxx Cooley died unexpectedly.
The elected county coroner, Rick Taylor, simply decided the death was an unsolvable mystery.

An Idaho Baby’s Unexplained Death Got No Autopsy and a Scant Coroner’s Investigation. State Law Says That’s Fine.
With a lack of regulation for coroners, a child who dies unexpectedly or outside of a doctor’s care in Idaho is less likely to be autopsied than anywhere else in the United States.

Typically, once a person dies they cannot be tried posthumously. But Jan 6 is different. Even if Trump is dead when the next Dem POTUS takes over the White House, I want Trump tried for his crimes. History has to record him as a criminal!

A scorched boat washed ashore on a remote beach in Colombia. Then mangled bodies. And then empty packets, a few with marijuana traces. We matched the physical and digital evidence to a U.S. airstrike — and found a fishing community terrified to go to sea. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...
