The recent discovery of what was initially thought to be an explosive device on a body brought to Indianapolis for examination could indicate more trouble at a neighboring county's coroner office already wracked by recent upheaval.
"God was looking out for everyone on the scene and at the Marion County Coroner's Office," Johnson County Coroner Mike Pruitt wrote before the object was determined to be debris from a car crash. It has been submitted to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for further analysis.
On Oct. 3, the Marion County Coroner's Office called police about a suspected explosive on the body of Marco Peña Morales, 30, who had died two days earlier after an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department chase ended in a fiery crash near Franklin, over the Johnson County line.
