Maybe our coroner has never fired a .45 aliber handgun, but anyone that has knows if anyone were to shoot themselves in the head with a .45, that person would not still be holding on to that gun after the fact. Recoil is tremendous. Being dead, one does not hold on to a .45 pistol during recoil. and the pistol was placed in the wrong hand: the guy was left handed; the pistol in his right hand.  How could our coroner not realize that when investigating Jake Embert's death? "Dateline" made Albany look ridiculously stupid and ignorant. Thank God for Lee Wilson.

Dr. Jose Tongol is a fine musician, and all his other pursuits make him an exceptionally well-rounded man. But he deserves to be lauded mostly for his life-saving skills. How many in southwest Georgia are alive today because of this man's healing talent?
