Associate Duval County Medical Examiner Bob Pfalzgraf has been placed on administrative leave, the city of Jacksonville confirmed to News4Jax on Thursday.
A city spokesperson said Pfalzgraf will remain on leave “while we investigate the circumstances” around a social media post on Pfalzgraf’s X account.

The post appeared to be about President Donald Trump. It was captured in a screenshot by the “Libs of TikTok” X account. (Pfalzgraf’s X account is protected, and posts can be seen only by approved followers.)
The post, which was made just after 12 a.m. on Monday, read: “I’m looking forward to the big beautiful obituary.”
The comment appears to be a reference to Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
