Why "MLDI" Guides
At MLDI Guides, MLDI stands for Medicolegal Death Investigation—representing a whole profession rather than a specific title.
Whether you serve as a Coroner, Deputy Coroner, Medical Examiner Investigator, MLDI, MDI, MEI, Coroner Investigator, Forensic Investigator, or another role, this platform was built for the professionals who perform this important work. While titles and acronyms vary across jurisdictions, the mission remains the same: serving families, documenting facts, supporting public health and safety, and advocating for answers with professionalism and dignity.
We're grateful you're here and honored to support your journey.
