The suspect is accused of stealing a necklace from a dead man and rare antique coins from another.
A man who worked as an investigator for the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner has been charged with two counts of theft for allegedly removing a gold crucifix necklace from a dead man's neck and keeping rare coins that were apparently linked to another man who was found dead, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.
Adrian Munoz, 34, of Los Angeles, is charged with one felony count of grand theft of property and one misdemeanor count of petty theft of property, according to the DA's office.
Surveillance video showed Munoz removing a gold crucifix necklace from the neck of a warehouse worker who died Jan. 6 of a heart attack at his job in South Los Angeles and placing it in his medical bag, according to the DA's office, which alleges that Munoz did not return the necklace or document it in the property receipt.
Investigators who searched Munoz's desk cubicle found rare antique coins with a receipt in the name of a man who had been discovered dead last November, the DA's office said.
