Dr. Jan Garavaglia retired from her position as the Chief Medical Examiner for Orange and Osceola counties in Florida in May 2015. After her retirement, she has kept a relatively low profile, focusing on her personal life and family.
Jan Garavaglia, also known as “Dr. G,” became widely known for her television show “Dr. G: Medical Examiner,” which aired on the Discovery Health Channel and later on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The show featured her work at the District Nine (Orange-Osceola) Medical Examiner’s Office in Florida, providing viewers with insights into forensic pathology and the investigation of deaths.
After an impressive career that spanned more than two decades, Dr. Garavaglia decided to retire to spend more time with her family, including her husband and two sons. Her decision to retire was also influenced by the desire to have more personal time and to pursue other interests and hobbies outside of her demanding career.
Since her retirement, Dr. Garavaglia has maintained a relatively private life. She has not returned to television and has not taken on a public role in the field of forensic pathology. However, her contributions to the field and her efforts to educate the public about the importance of forensic science in understanding and investigating deaths remain significant. Her work helped to demystify the medical examiner’s role and brought greater awareness to the scientific approach behind determining causes of death.
