In this note, we show how the determinant of the distance matrix D(G ) of a weighted, directed graph G can be explicitly expressed in terms of the corresponding determinants for the (strong) blocks G i of G . In particular, when cof D(G ), the sum of the cofactors of D(G ), does not vanish, we have the very attractive formula.
