The Uinta County Coroner's Office is the county medicolegal death investigation agency serving Uinta County in southwestern Wyoming, headquartered in Evanston. Led by an elected county coroner under Wyoming statutory law, its statutory mandate is to investigate the cause, manner, and circumstances of sudden, unattended, violent, or suspicious deaths, perform post-mortem examinations, and issue official death certificates. The office was established alongside the creation of Uinta County on December 1, 1869, by the First Territorial Legislature of Wyoming, evolving from frontier death inquests along the Union Pacific Railroad corridor into a professional medicolegal investigative service.
