Nueces County has a new chief medical examiner — the third in the past two years.
At today’s Nueces County Commissioners’ meeting, the appointment of Dr. Diane-Ngam H. Trang was unanimously approved. Her annual salary will be just over $412,000.
Trang has been serving as the interim chief medical examiner since July. That’s when the previous chief medical examiner, Dr. Rajesh Kannan, resigned after just 14 months on the job.
