Coroner to the Stars

Overview

Coroner to the Stars follows Dr. Thomas Noguchi, the former L.A. County Chief Medical Examiner, whose revolutionary autopsies left an indelible mark on American culture. Working on cases involving Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Sharon Tate, and Natalie Wood, his bold expertise thrust forensic science into the public eye—even as Hollywood power players and political rivals tried to shut him down. A Japanese immigrant who unexpectedly became a star in a fame-obsessed city, Noguchi’s relentless quest for truth repeatedly landed him in the middle of fierce controversy.
