MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. -- Macomb County Medical Examiner Daniel Spitz said he's making procedural changes after missing a gunshot wound during the autopsy of a banker found dead after being missing for a month.

Spitz on Wednesday appeared before the county's board of commissioners about his handling of the autopsy of David Widlak. He said changes include the taking of additional images with radiographic equipment.

"Things are going to be done differently in regards to certain dissections, as well as the use of the radiographic equipment that is available to me," said Spitz.

Spitz came under fire after a second autopsy conducted by Oakland County's medical examiner on Widlak, whose body was found in Lake St. Clair, revealed that he was shot in the head.

Spitz performed the initial autopsy on Widlak and had said his death was inconclusive. He had said there was no blunt force trauma, gunshot or knife wounds to the 62-year-old’s body. Spitz said it appeared Widlak had died from drowning.

Spitz has said he missed a gunshot wound in Widlak's autopsy because the county lacked sophisticated equipment, but Wednesday he backtracked on the earlier statement.

Spitz told commissioners Wednesday that he now thinks the equipment inside the state-of-the art, $2.4 million morgue is adequate.

"The (equipment) tools certainly were used (in the Widlak case)," said Spitz. "I do think they can be used in a better way."

When the morgue opened three years ago, Spitz gave Local 4 a tour to explain some of the new equipment.

"We have a special autopsy room which houses our digital X-ray equipment and it has another autopsy that houses two other autopsy stations if we needed it too. That's our special dissection room for decomposed bodies of infectious body cases," he said.

Last month, during a news conference after the results of the second autopsy were revealed, Spitz said the Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office had a different piece of high-tech equipment that his office did not have, which led to the inconspicuous discovery.

“As you know, the body was severely decomposed, which severely limits evaluation of the skin,” he said. “With the fluoroscopy, these bullet fragments prompted further dissection.”

Spitz said the wound was found at the base of Widlak’s skull, is about 1 centimeter in diameter and is partially covered by hair.

“I’m not trying to say that it’s not my responsibility because I don’t have this equipment; I’m not trying to go there at all,” Spitz said.

Spitz said at the meeting Wednesday that he never said his equipment was insufficient and that his words were twisted by the media.

Pathologists said the discovery had nothing to do with equipment.

During the meeting, there was some talk of removing Spitz as the chief Medical Examiner for Macomb, but that was shut down. Commissioners said that issue would have to be brought up during a separate meeting; they just wanted to focus on the argument at hand.

Toxicology reports on Widlak are still pending and a ruling on whether his death was homicide or suicide has yet to be determined.

Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said after the new autopsy results were released, a dive team was immediately sent out to re-examine the area where Widlak’s body was found.

“Within a half-hour of the divers being out there, within close proximity to the body, they did find a weapon,” he said. “The weapon was a .38-caliber revolver that apparently belonged to Widlak.”

Widlak's body was found in Lake St. Clair on Oct. 17. He had been missing for a month.
