Résumé
Legal systems for medicolegal death investigation in the United States are varied. A 1954 model medical examiner law was initially embraced by a few states but did not gain widespread support and was woefully inadequate. The 2009 National Commission on Forensic Science recommended the creation of an updated model medical examiner legislation. Various considerations for policymakers are explored. A model law is proposed.
