Last night was a little out of the ordinary for me. I sat on a panel moderated by @jonlovett with Director @BenHethcoat to talk about Ben’s new documentary “Coroner to the Stars.”

It is about the life and complicated legacy of LA County’s longtime coroner Dr. Thomas Noguchi.

Dr. Thomas Noguchi, the chief medical examiner who ruled #MarilynMonroe’s death a “probable suicide,” says he still stands by his findings today despite conspiracy theories alleging foul play:

I heard some old friends at @PodSaveAmerica were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.
