Dr. Denise Dingle is the new DeKalb County Medical Examiner.
She has been appointed by County Mayor Tim Stribling to take over the position which was held for many years by Dr. J.C. Wall, who passed away recently.
“Dr. J.C. Wall passed away July 31. He was the DeKalb County Medical Examiner for years but he was also my friend and neighbor. He was a friend to a lot of people. We send our condolences to his wife Sandra and Dr. Wall’s family. I ask that you continue to lift them up in prayer,” said Stribling during Monday night’s monthly county commission meeting.
The term of Medical Examiner is for five years through August 23, 2026. Dr. Dingle has agreed to accept the position. The county commission Monday night confirmed the appointment.
