[quote=Phanuthier;2281631]Thanks for the reply Anus. (Ha ha ok not meant as an insult, I just always wanted to say that.)
No insult taken. Seems half of CPers I've met seem to think I meant my username to be anus, and not the dardanian prince of legend.
It really seems you've done everything you can. Life is worth the effort. In our case there was nothing we could say or do to change the result.
In hindsight we are very appreciative of the last phone call. As horrible as it was for my wife at the time, we feel it was better than the alternative.
An odd aside, from someone who's never had to deal with violent death in such a close manner. I assumed the authorities would call someone to do the cleanup. Thought it might be automatic. They let my mother in law back in the house, alone, with all but the body itself still there. They did provide a contact number.
Also he left a stack of important papers (will, etc.) with a letter for his wife. The poice took all this too. Now they want to do an autopsy. I'm not from CSI Miami, but the cause of death is pretty clear. They took the papers to investigate what?
I am a little bitter because i am the one that called the police and they were at his house at 2000. (He is in Edm, me in CGY). They told me they saw movement at 2130. They did not enter the house until 0100 to find him dead. I understand they need to be careful. I get it really. Just seems like they are working pretty hard after, and maybe too slow before.
I better stop. Nothing changes the end result, and I don't want to sound anti - police.
