Death and Resurrection: The Tale of Coroner Noguchi

Abstract

The 1969 firing and then rehiring of Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi. Noguchi was fired for seemingly-bogus reasons. Pressure from the Japanese-American community developed and - after a highly-publicized hearing - resulted in a reversal of that decision.
