Coroner calls? TWO of them? Who died?

One of them is from the hospital. Anytime someone dies within 24 hours of admission to the hospital, the coroner must be notified. Depending upon the cirumstances, they may choose to release the body to the funeral home without an investigation, or they may decide to come in and investigate, particularly if the person admitted was a trauma victim, or died unexpectedly, or there was suspicion of a crime (neglect, abuse, etc) prior to admission.
