Black Hawk County Deaths Yield Very Low Violent Crime
County records show 31 coroner calls for accidental or unexplained deaths in the past year, with only one murder. The list includes drownings, electrocutions, auto accidents, and deaths from alcohol aftercare. An infant death and a drowning of two young brothers are noted among unusual cases. Despite relative safety, the total is deemed too long for the population.
