The deceased is mentioned as someone who died violently or as a victim of murder.
Occiso is a term that comes from the Latin occīsus , derived in turn from occidĕre ( "kill" ). A deceased, therefore, is one who has been murdered or who has died violently .
For example: “The deceased was quickly identified as he was carrying documents in his pants” , “The brother of the deceased demanded justice before the media and asked that the population join the demonstration that will take place in front of the Municipality” , “ A hole in the scalp revealed that the deceased was shot to death.”
Deceased, dead and deceased
The notion of deceased can be confused with other similar concepts, such as dead or deceased . Although in some contexts they can be used as synonyms , each one has its specific meaning.
Dead is one who is lifeless, just like deceased. This means that a deceased is also a dead person or a deceased person, although a dead person or a deceased person is not always a deceased person. An 86-year-old man who dies of natural causes, such as cardiac arrest , is not a deceased. On the other hand, a young man murdered in a robbery is a deceased, but he is also a dead man and a deceased.
A deceased is a deceased.
The importance of research
In order to determine that a body is deceased, investigators and police carry out an exhaustive analysis of both the body and the place where it was found. In this way, they will determine that he has been murdered and has not died of natural causes when they find signs of violence, fundamentally.
Thus, in that case, they will proceed to collect all types of samples, both of objects and footprints and even of the victim's body in order to find the evidence that will lead to determining who or who caused his death.
Determination of the deceased
However, despite everything, there are many cases throughout history in which it has not been possible to clearly determine whether a body was deceased or not. This would be the case of the death of actress Marilyn Monroe , the blonde temptation, since many have ventured about whether she was murdered or died of other causes.
The reality is that his body was found next to a tube of barbiturates and everything seemed to indicate that he had committed suicide. But the fact that the lack of evidence can confirm it for sure, there are many theories that have indicated that she was actually murdered. Because? Because being a lover of the Kennedys, he knew many details about their personal and political lives that could shake this saga that had become an undisputed pillar of the United States .
What's more, some claim that it was Kennedy themselves who ordered her to be assassinated so that she would not reveal the shady business they had with the mafia. Be that as it may, the case has remained unsolved.
In confusing cases, it is preferable not to use the concept of deceased since an error could be made, which will never happen if terms such as dead or deceased are used. Suppose the police find a lifeless person on a public street. The body has no marks or bruises of any kind. The cause of death, therefore, can only be determined with an autopsy . Meanwhile, the name deceased should not be used, since it is not known if the death was caused by violent causes.
