We treat every Unattended Death (outside of Hospice) as a homicide until we can determine it isn’t. That covers anything from someone found deceased in bed or anywhere to someone in any accident or water related incident.
What better way for someone to get rid of somebody. It’s easy fast and evidence normally gets destroyed. So we need to take every precaution to protect and preserve that evidence. One can only imagine how many people have been murdered over the years and it was chalked up as an accident or suicide. The amount of water related suicides is going off our charts.
The bottom line is that even in Rescue Mode we need to observe, protect and collect as much evidence as possible. In Recovery Mode take your time and look at a wide area.
Just keep in mind that what looks like a simple vehicle accident off the road and into the water could be one spouse getting rid of the other.
