The Massachusetts chief medical examiner, Dr. Henry N. Nields, announced his retirement Thursday after a decade-long tenure in which he was widely admired as a dedicated, hard-working public servant but one who often struggled to cope with controversies under his watch. In an email to his staff, Nields, 62, said he was leaving at a time when the "office maintains a solid foundation" and that he hopes "it will continue to make major strides forward with new leadership."
