County coroner
recovering from stroke
Marshall
County coroner James Richard Anderson is in the hospital at Baptist
East in Memphis, Tenn., recovering from a stroke, according
to his
father, Eugene Anderson.
The
coroner became
noticeably ill Wednesday, Oct. 20, when he drove out to the ambulance
service on Highway 178 in Holly Springs to visit a friend around 8:30
p.m. to 9 p.m., according to Anderson.
“His
friend came outside and saw him sitting in his truck shaking,” he said.
“His friend closed the truck door and went inside to get help.”
The
coroner was taken first to Alliance HealthCare System then airlifted to
Baptist East, his father said. He remained in Intensive Care until
Saturday when he was transferred out of Intensive Care.
“People
are praying for him and pastors are visiting him,” Anderson said.
The
coroner was in stable condition Monday while physicians continue to run
tests to assess his condition, Anderson said.
Deputy
coroner John Garrison will take over the coroner’s duties while he is
out, said Chuck Thomas, chancery clerk.
“I
feel like coroners in surrounding counties would step up if there is a
big emergency,” Thomas said.
