Abstract
Background: 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.
Methods: Various considerations for policymakers are explored.
