Writing a murder play. Plot invloves murder made to look like an accident.?

Question

I want to avoid there being an autopsy. Autopsies are routine for unexpected deaths. So, other than having the body unrecognisable from being so badly burnt, are there any other methods anyone could suggest that I might use. Thanks.

Answer 1

oop sounds like the questioner is trying to find a way out. You have not really killed someone have you? lol.

But heres my suggestions....

Drowning on a boat, plane crash,house fire, or just try to watch the film mousetrap.

Alternatively just give them a copy of Jack Blacks film Be kind rewind!

Answer 2

What about no body at all.

Answer 3

If the person involved was suffering from a disease as the result of which he could be expected to die at any time -- e.g. a weak heart --there would not normally be an autopsy.

Answer 4

how about the body was burned...so all there is left are maybe ashes, or if the fire was put out, charred bones and bits of flesh.

Answer 5

Call the "police" and tell them the person "may have a gun". They will send round 10 trigger-happy cowboys, who will shoot the s**+*t out of anybody in the area,...and you won,t hear another word about it!

Answer 6

You could say the defendant killed the victim under diminished responsibility...Which means they have  mental illness =] pushed into it...Makes for a good court scene

Answer 7

Autopsies are not routine if the person died in hospital. Terry
