Charles Norris, American Forensic Toxicologist

Charles Norris (December 4, 1867 - September 11, 1935) was New York's first appointed chief medical examiner (1918-35) and pioneer of forensic toxicology in America. In 1904 became the laboratory director at Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. In 1917, he applied for the job of Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York, took a civil service examination and passed. He immediately set about improving his department. After hiring several distinguished scientists and chemists, including Alexander Gettler, he was forced, due to the lack of any supplies, to buy them all out of his own money. He and his office were involved with many high profile murder/poison cases during the 1920s-30s. In the spring of 1935, Norris began to feel ill and died of heart failure at the age of 67.
