Coroners in Indiana could soon have a new way to identify bodies.

Currently they use fingerprints, DNA, and dental records along with family members to ID someone found dead.

A new state House bill would add tracking numbers on surgical implants as a way coroners can identify bodies.

The bill has already passed a public health committee and is moving on to the full House.
