Dr. Louis Cataldi, the former coroner for East Baton Rouge Parish, is heading the work to identify those found dead in the city. I believe that Dr. Cataldi is an addictologist. However, he did a fine job as coroner for our city. The remains of those who died during the storm will be treated with respect and dignity.

I do not personally know Dr. Cataldi, but I have met him a couple of times and I have heard him make presentations where I work. I hold him in high regard.
