To assist Medical Examiners and Coroners during the investigation of all sudden pediatric deaths, we created the brochure “Help for Families When an Infant or Young Child Dies”.

The brochure outlines for families in a clear manner:

The brochure is intended to be provided to the next of kin by the investigator during the scene investigation and can be used for all manners of sudden pediatric deaths.

Although the brochure was created for widespread use, there may be information included that you would like changed to better reflect your local jurisdiction. We have a ME/C version, an ME only version and a Coroner only version.

 

To request a unique version for your jurisdiction, please fill out the form below and a unique pdf will be emailed to you for your approval and/or requested copies mailed to you.

The brochure is designed to be printed on legal size paper. The SUDC Program provides these brochures at no cost, but as a service to help both the professionals and families affected by sudden death to communicate effectively and sympathetically to those in need.

If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to working with you and providing this service.
