Fulton County Medical Examiner has NO record for this decedent — confirmed BOTH by facility address (2026-06-18, MCE conv 2ccdb137; that search returned only Christopher Green) AND by decedent NAME (2026-06-18, MCE conv 2ff83c7a: "We don't see anyone in our system with that name"). DO NOT re-request from Fulton ME. GDC records this as an in-custody death at Atlanta Transitional Center on 2023-03-22; with no Fulton ME case at all, the death was likely certified at a hospital in another county, OR no ME/coroner inquiry occurred (note O.C.G.A. § 45-16-24 requires a coroner's inquiry into in-custody deaths). NEXT: obtain place of death via GDC incident/death record or GA Vital Records (death certificate) to route to the correct custodian. Cause remains Unknown/Pending.
