Rowland Resigns From ME's Staff

Kevin Rowland resigned as chief investigator in the Medical Examiner's office as the agency remains under pressure from lawmakers to restructure how the Medical Examiner's office is overseen.

Before he resigned, Rowland was placed on paid leave, said Cherokee Ballard, spokeswoman for the Medical Examiner's Office.

The office has been in turmoil because of sexual harassment accusations against Rowland and other issues. Rowland has denied the allegations.
