AbleChild Suggests Historic Coroner Reform Law After Butler Assassination Attempt, Patel–Fitton Clash
Republished with permission from AbleChild.
The recent dispute between FBI Director Kash Patel and Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch about the information provided in the embarrassingly overly redacted FOIA related documents reminds AbleChild of many of the incompetent agencies that had its hands in the investigation of the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump in Butler, PA in July of 2024, beginning with the Coroner of Butler County, William F. Young III.
AbleChild has been following the “investigation” of the attempted assassination in the hope of obtaining information about the mental health of the shooter involved. Unfortunately, the problems with the physical evidence in this case make it difficult to reliably report whether the alleged shooter had been taking any prescription drugs at the time of the shooting and as reported in several earlier articles, it is impossible to provide any written documentation about how the shooter’s body was identified and that responsibility lies squarely with the Butler County coroner.
William F. Young III, the Butler County coroner at the time of the shooting, is statutorily required to follow specific procedures in death investigations. For example, 16 P.S.C.A. 13915 “The coroner shall safely keep in the coroner’s charge: (1) the personal effects and property to have been on or about the person at the time of death…”
The first problem lies with coroner Young not viewing the alleged shooter’s body lying on the roof of the AGR building until 6:15a.m. the following day, despite having been at the rally grounds at midnight after the shooting. Why? Moreover, based on his own report, Young was literally the last person to see the deceased body on the AGR building roof after numerous law enforcement agencies, emergency response personnel and anybody else who got access to the roof, had violated the crime scene, with one law enforcement agent literally zip tying the hands of the dead body.
Under Pennsylvania law, the coroner has the duty under 16 P.S.C.A. 13918 to: “having a view of the body shall investigate the facts and circumstances concerning a death that appears to have happened within the county…” Further, statutorily, Young was responsible for determining “the identity of the deceased and notify the next of kin of the deceased.”
Under 16 P.S.CA. 13922 “Prohibition of Moving a body.” Coroner Young “has the jurisdiction to investigate the facts and circumstances of death, the body and the surroundings of the body shall be left untouched until either: (1) the coroner has conducted an initial investigation of the scene of death, including viewing and photographing the scene in the manner that most fully discloses how the individual died (2) the coroner directs or authorizes the touching of a body and the surroundings of a body, except as provided by law or as circumstances may require.”
By that time Young arrived at the AGR building, it is fair to say, the crime scene had been completely violated and the body handled by an unknown number of people. The question becomes: did coroner Young provide authorization for all those unknown people to handle the body? And, more importantly, what was taken from the body and crime scene by those unknown people?
In Young’s Case Summary Report the coroner writes, “the subject’s hands were zip tied behind his back by emergency personnel and pronounced deceased at 18:25 on 07/13/24 by ESU Medic Michel Vasilodiolis-Nicol…” That’s it. What about the death scene? The gun? The detonator? What was the alleged shooter wearing? Zip, Zero, Nada.
So Young ships the body of the alleged shooter, who laid on the roof all night being handled by untold number of people, to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner (ME) for autopsy. What does the ME receive from Coroner Young? You can’t make this up. According to the Body Receiving Record, the ME got clothing consisting of “shirt, belt, shoes, socks, underwear, shorts and one zip tie.”
More bizarre, the Allegheny ME writes in his official autopsy report of the alleged shooter that “the body is accompanied by a clear plastic bag containing medium length brown hair (submitted as evidence).
First, who cut the hair from the alleged shooter’s head and put it into “a clear plastic bag” along with the body? Coroner Young makes no mention of this bagged hair anywhere. And, if the ME has the body of the alleged shooter and reports in the description of the body “The head hair is brown, straight, and medium to long in length (approximately 6 to 9 inches in length)” why would the ME have need of a bag of hair of the same body? Whose hair is in the bag? Was it tested and for what?
Then to really make this screwy, the Allegheny ME provides in his Release Receipt that he returned to the Beinhaufer Funeral Home the body of the alleged shooter and one zip tie. Why weren’t the clothing and bag of hair part of the return to the funeral home? Where are the clothes and bag of hair today?
And, finally, who got the Home Depot receipt that was reported to have been pulled from the alleged shooter’s pocket while laying on the roof of the AGR building. Remember the FBI says the shooter purchased a ladder from the Home Depot early on the morning of the shooting. Where is that receipt for a ladder that was never used and later found fifty miles from the rally? Why wasn’t the receipt collected by Coroner Young? Did Young even ask what was removed from the body? For that matter, where’s the ladder?
AbleChild could go on and on about the major physical evidence problems in this case and has in previous articles. AbleChild can’t help but wonder if this is why the FBI refuses to release its unredacted investigation. But more than that, the obvious actions, and lack thereof, by the Butler County Coroner, William Young III, need to be investigated.
And AbleChild would go one step further and suggest that legislation needs to be adopted in Pennsylvania, and later all fifty states, that make coroners responsible for willful/neglectful failure to carry out statutory mandates.
The attached suggested legislation should be considered immediately by the Pennsylvania Legislature to ensure death scene reports are properly carried out and state law is performed by medically qualified employees. The point of the coroner’s job is to ensure that the initial case report will hold up in a court of law in assisting in determining identity of the deceased, and exact cause and legal manner of death. They are the legal voice of the deceased.
Remember Allegheny County ME Ariel Goldschmidt testified before Congress that he had no part in any actions prior to the body being transported to his office in Pittsburgh, leaving any investigation of the body on the AGR roof to then Coroner Young.
AbleChild argues that William Young’s death investigation is so flawed it’s useless and, while Young is no longer Butler County coroner, he has some explaining to do and the State needs to enact laws that hold its coroners personally responsible for blatant incompetence.

Conspiracy theorists once again correct
ALL was done that could be done so No one would be able to follow the evidence to catch the Conspirators!!
If our government set out to kill TRUMP was there anything else in these events that does anything other than lead to a conclusion that this was all well orchestrated planned and executed, but thru shear luck, failed attempt.
It was bit more than luck, God stepped in and spared Trump's life!
I have no respect for the FIB (or Kash Patel), they botched the Butler PA investigation and the Charlie Kirk investigation, and their version of what happened at both locations doesn't hold up under scrutiny, and they don't even care. Not to mention the botched Keystone Kops investigation into the Ruth Guthrie abduction.
Anyone who can walk and chew gum who has followed the events of this day, do NOT need a forensic review of protocols to sum up and conclude that this was a deliberate attempt by some government entities to bring about an assignation of TRUMP. Rather than dig deep and find rat poop, take another course and say, "…If anybody wanted to assassinate TRUMP, what would you do to accomplish that task." All the pieces to the puzzle then make perfect sense. Drone flight, ladder to the roof, spotted and reported by many witnesses, target practicing at a well known government facility. Was the kid "programmed" with drugs to do his "job" ? Why did the only building for a good shot be ignored by those in charge of preventing the murder? Cops washing down the blood on a roof (come on, really??) And who was on the phone with the kid moments before taking the shot, gramma? Mutilation of a crime scene and disposing of the body so that more than one person could be the only person to do a autopsy report….the list is so very long it needs not be made here. This was a high level attempt at getting rid of TRUMP before an election, and the rest is smoke and mirrors.
What a joke. People died and all we get is, fraud, conspiracy, lies, incompetence, DEI, coverups, mafeasence, and no accountability.
There was no investigation; it was all a cover-up for a failed government assassination of Trump.
They don't need to amend laws to address what happened because a cover-up is a cover-up.
censorship will fix it
The obvious conclusion to who truly was the Butler, PA assassin and why the actual body was never turned over to the ME for examination other than According to the Body Receiving Record, the ME got clothing consisting of “shirt, belt, shoes, socks, underwear, shorts and one zip tie.” is because it was an inside job – hench the dispute between FBI Director Kash Patel and Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch and I question if the shooter was even killed. This entire scenario is so fake no one will ever be able to solve this riddle and that is exactly how the powers to be want it. IMO
We still know absolutely nothing about Crooks. Nothing, zero……It's like he never existed. Total radio silence. Crooks was apparently a highly skilled and stealthy "special forces dork" who somehow outwitted dozens of the most professional, experienced, vigilant and heavily armed security forces the government has at it's disposal. Crooks the Dork was set up as the fall guy for an assassination attempt successful or not. The assassination attempt was an inside job .

4.0 gpa in high school.
Known at his range as a good marksman.
The guy wasn't an idiot.
Perhaps regarding his curricular achievements, but his choices in life would indicate he was indeed an idiot.
Maybe he had some help with his decision.
History repeats itself if you’re not paying attention. Does anybody remember a guy named, oh I don’t know Oswald?
it's really sad. we are being lied to and flooded with propaganda to distract.
I pray for justice.
Dr. Ariel Goldschmidt is the Chief Medical Examiner for Allegheny County.
I am told he holds a dual citizenship.
You'll never guess…..
There is much the public doesn’t know about Josh Shapiro.
A search on Brave yielded this.

There is also a YouTube video addressing this, entitled: BREAKING: Federal Whistleblower IMPLICATES Gov. Josh Shapiro in Trump Assassination Attempt
There was another YouTube video containing the affiant making the claims, but it has been removed. I don't know she has survived this.
Here is another YouTube video on this. I think that I watched it, but it's been a while.
PA Gov Josh Shapiro Named in Trump Assassination Attempt by Federal WHISTLEBLOWER in New AFFIDAVIT!
The government recruited, trained and allowed this to happen. Patel is now part of the deep state.
I believe Kash is holding something back, the question is why. I can't believe he's a part of the deep state when he was a valued member of Trump's first term and his book he authored with Steve Bannon "Government Gangsters".
Major chain of custody issues. Why is Patel fighting this?
I'll take Tom Fitton's side every time ..!
Maybe a full investigation one William Young Coroner needs to be investigated. Sloppy job, any layman could do a better job. I would think normal law enforcement including FBI and Secret service, would know better than to man handle a dead perpetrator and muck up a crime scene.
Massachusetts Read trial comes to mind of inept police work……..and trying to cover things up
Forget about anything having a chain of custody when politics/violence/voting is involved!!!
The mishandling was intentional. Smoke & mirrors. Inside job.
The real insult to the American people is that these creeps really do think we are all stupid.
I am not, you may not be, but yes, the American people are stupud.
"zip tying the hands of the dead body" Now there's someone going above & beyond safety protocols. lol
An agent reports there's someone on the AGR roof, couple guys go there to look, Cooks sees them & points his gun, then what, they just blow it off and business as usual?
Everything that happened 7/13 couldn't even approach common sense, less a professional duty. I'll bet I, you, any group of neighbors could have done a better job that day protecting a POTUS & preserving the crime scene. Then add Sept 15 attempt on POTUS, the Secret Service needs to be completely replace with totally new personnel, top to bottom- starting at the top. Also on 7/13 Jill Biden had more protection than Trump was given.
In 1963, it was the County who was in charge of any attempt or murder of a POTUS, not the US govt.
Now the Feds have total control… and things have gotten worse.

When a tyrannical government is expected to fix itself what would one expect ! The founders gave us the right to a well regulated militia which we subcontracted to what we call the department of defense! They have not defended the people or the constitution domestically! Epic failure on every front! Impossible for any militia formation with the surveillance infrastructure in place! You can’t even have a garage sale without the eyes and ears of the world knowing it! I was planning a move be close to a new grandchild in southern Missouri! I might have to switch that to Portugal or something! Because if something big doesn’t happen soon all of will have a bullseye on our backs!
Records and files do not ultimately belong to any agency. They belong to the American people. Decisions by officials in the FBI (or in any other agency) to withhold evidence should not be an option. Citizens deserve to know what is in our files. Thank you, Tom Fitton, for fighting for transparency on our behalf!
Nothing in the Constitution about classified information that I'm aware of.
Patel is absolute GARBAGE- a traitor, sellout and frankly a criminal who covers for deep state felonies.
