Fremont Co. coroner testifies on Tammy Daybell's death | Chad Daybell trial

Published 2024-04-24
On Day 10 of the Chad Daybell trial, the Fremont County, Idaho coroner talked about the death of Chad's first wife, Tammy Daybell. Prosecutors say Daybell conspired with Lori Vallow in killing Tammy.

Tammy's death was a homicide and the cause was asphyxiation. She was found with "old bruises" and pink foam around her mouth. The coroner also testified on why an autopsy wasn't done until authorities began investigating the cause of Lori Vallow's then-missing children.

    I find this coroner to be very incompetent! A autopsy should have been ordered immediately and 2 kids would be alive today. I would sue the pants off this office!
  • @lucybowser1447
    Is that coroner being held accountable at all? She should be run out of town, never allowed around a dead person again. Puts innocent people in peril. Shame.

    How is John Prior an attorney for a murder trial and he doesn't know the word "lividity"?! He called it lapidity numerous times after this and I couldn't help but laugh when he did!
  • Her husbands death was really suspicious too her brother shot him claimed self defense but had gone in the house and instead of locking the door and calling the cops got the gun instead and the responding officer was another dope apparently like the people that didn't care to investigate Tammys death either. Then it took over six months for authorities to even look for the kids after the Grandparents reported concerns it's just pathetic and disgusting. Had they not killed the kids likely their spouses murders would not ever have been questioned.

    So we have a healthy woman. She dies. But not until you hear from AZ PD you think oh? How many cases has this person conducted. They all need to be reviewed. She doesn’t look for evidence. She listens to the spouse.

    So I guess if you want to commit murd3r just move to a small town with a coroner and not an ME, and you’ll know they won’t bother to do an autopsy or even consider that the death is a homicide 🤦🏻‍♀️. I can’t believe this woman was supposed to help the STATE. If anything this was a major win for Dumbell.
  • @beckydavis747

    Share a story of a time you, or someone you know was neglected by dcfs, the state and technicalities and left with their abusers KNOWINGLY AND FORCIBLY, only to be seriously injured. Share your stories. Let's see how many people have experienced the same things.

    I find this lady very incompetent as a coroner BUT EVEN WORSE as a witness . She had YEARS to prepare her time on the stand since her testimony is so important and then…. The time comes and…..🥵She was frustrating to watch

    If she was on top of a sheet and he pulled it she could easily be flipped out of bed. As a nurse we use sheets to flip patients all the time.

    I throw up 3 times before my throw up is clear of food. If tammy threw up only once for me there may still be food in my stomach. Just saying
