Who Is and What happened with Dr. Charles Siebert?

Dr. Charles Siebert, performed Adrianna’s autopsy, but was not present in trial. Dr. Siebert was a medical examiner appointed by Governor Jeb Bush in Florida. Dr. Siebert faced significant scrutiny after a high-profile case involving the death of a teenager at a police-run boot camp. Initially attributing the death to sickle cell, it was later discovered to be the result of a beating by officers. During the investigation, Dr. Siebert was found to have corresponded with Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen. Moreover, he had a history of failing to adhere to basic autopsy procedures. Consequently, in 2007, the Florida State Medical Examiners Commission unanimously decided to remove Dr. Siebert from his position. Following the revocation of his medical examiner license, Dr. Siebert transitioned to running a children's entertainment company, operating under the name Dr. Funny Bones. Presently, he resides in New Jersey, where he continues to entertain and offer private autopsy services.

Autopsy was conducted by Chief Medical Examiner Charles F. Siebert.
