The city of San Francisco has tentatively agreed to pay $436,000 to a former official with the medical examiner’s office who says he was fired for refusing to alter the autopsy report into the 2019 death of Public Defender Jeff Adachi.
Christopher Wirowek was operations director for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner back in February 2019, when Adachi died at age 59. He was found unconscious in a North Beach apartment.
