What happens after you ctb, the practicals..

[406metallicblue]

I'm not talking afterlife really, just the practical side of things. There's another thread about the afterlife elsewhere.

Someone finds you dead.
They call the emergency services, who transport the body to a hospital for potential autopsy.
Closest relatives are contacted, who are requested to come to confirm the identity, attend an interview with the lawyer who handles the will, assuming there is one.
Either the relatives or a house clearance company empty the property so that it can be sold, sell any items that may get income ie posessions, car. Or possibly the house can be sold with contents, after the family have taken anything they would like to keep.
A death certificate is produced in multiple copies, entitling the executor to deal with the paperwork of the deceased and free up any available funds from policies, bank accounts and the sale of any property.

Burial/incineration is convened while all this is going on, in accordance with the will, to which family will attend.

And naturally, the lawyers and the state take their cut.
Have i missed anything, this is what i imagine under french law and could well be different in other countries.

You've sort of covered this talking about identifying the body, but depending on where the body is found and the state it is in there might be other Investigations carried out to establish cause and rule out accident, murder etc

Yes, i believe the autopsy might be carried out regardless, especially if there is doubt ie suicide/accident. In my case it will be a petrol generator in an enclosed room. There might be room for suspicion bearing in mind my recent spell in hospital. Equally, the medications i'm on could easily lead to a case of misadventure while renovating the house after having a few drinks. I can do without taking too many benzos, as this would be flagged up in an autopsy and sway the verdict to suicide, which is the last thing i want to happen. Half a dozen benzos and a few glasses of pastis would be enough to appear normal for someone in my mental state, or at least leave room for doubt. Thirty and a whole bottle of pastis and you're looking at suicide at the autopsy, i would have thought. i want there to be an open verdict.

Good question. I have thought about this. In my case I worry about the cuts the hospital or coroner will take to autopsy the body and all the emergency workers bills for they WILL be called and all those cuts in to what little savings I have will not get to go to my surviving. S*cks.
