    This was an excellent and thought provoking course. I intend to implement what I've learned in my daily death investigations. I'm not sure how I missed the rabbit stealing a cookie from the baby as I was glued to the video without fail!

    Death Scene review

    Course was good, it would be nice to have a rewind option. The question relating to the obvious distraction to make sure your are paying attention is not needed. I was taking notes during the course and missed it so I had to guess on the test answer which has nothing to do with the course material.

    Death scene mistakes.

    The instructor covers the do's and don'ts of a death scene. Who should be there and who does not need to be there. Keep a wide perimeter and someone at the entrance, only designated members inside the perimeter, document and photograph everything while taking notes. Only members who actually have a function at a death scene should be close to the body and wear the proper shoe coverings, masks, gloves, coveralls, etc.
