Just morbid questions. I mean I’m not some CEO, just an averge person. Just wondered how seriously is my death even gonna be investigated. (Or is nobody even gonna care, like how my parents probably won’t even care if I died)

    Okay so what if this scenario: [Hypothetical, I’m not in this situation, yet]

    I have an argument at home with family members, and someone got pissed.

    They:

    [1] kills me while I sleep

    or

    [2] poisons my food

    I mean, I do have diagnosed depression (but never told my therapist/doctors about my suicidal idealization), so could they potentially fake a suicide?

      Immediate family (spouses especially) are ALWAYS the primary suspect until they can be ruled out

        Becase family is most often at fault. So the easy answer is right. But when it isn’t family it is much harder to guess who might have done it.

      This is sounding oddly specific. OP, please don’t kill your family member.

      Edit: Actually, I’d like to add something. If you were to suffocate someone with a pillow or poison them, both of them would point to foul play, which would instantly pull in a list of possible suspects. In that list, the ones with motive would be investigated a bit more: ie, had a spat before the death. And from the on, it would be up to match evidence, now that an investigator knows what they’re looking for, it won’t take long to put 2 and 2 together.
