Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht died 'peacefully' Monday at the age of 93, according to Pennsylvania officials. The former Allegheny County medical examiner famously analyzed the deaths of President John F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley, JonBenet Ramsey, Anna Nicole Smith and others.

While serving in the Air Force, Wecht met his wife, whom he married after they were both honorably discharged from service.

Cyril embarked on a long and stellar career combining his training in medicine and law, and his then-rare expertise in the nascent field of forensic pathology.

He was then elected as Allegheny County Coroner for several terms later served as Allegheny County’s first Chief Medical Examiner. He founded the Pittsburgh Institute of Legal Medicine and the Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law at Duquesne University, where he taught for about 60 years.
