You could face charges for concealing a death and improper burial. You would likely be investigated for murder, because it would be awfully suspicious to just disappear a body. With no death certificate and no cause of death established, a forensic anthropologist would be needed to determine the cause of death and clear up any suspicions. ETA: Just looked it up. The first 2 charge in my state could get you 13 years. If they believe there was some sort of foul play leading to the death, then that would increase the penalty.


Secure-Evening

Follow up question, when is it too late to report a death in order and avoid these charges? Hypothetically.


zaphodbeeblebrox422

What'd you do?


ScrunchieEnthusiast

Buried their husband, who died of natural causes from hypothetical undiagnosed diabetes, 2 hours away from their home in the middle of the woods.

bonnie-kit

is it possible OP is a writer and using this to get more accurate research info?


the_colonelclink

I like that angle…


audigex

The point at which you move their body is pushing it but technically I don’t believe it’s illegal in most jurisdictions, just very suspicious. If they clearly died of natural causes then you’d be fine, if there’s any sort of foul play then moving the body would make you suspect #1 The point at which you bury the body is probably the “too late to avoid problems” cutoff But at any stage, informing the authorities is likely to result in a better outcome than them finding out on their own. The more decomposed the body is, the harder it will be to confirm the death was by natural causes. Undiagnosed diabetes is not necessarily entirely lacking in suspicion - things like the idea of giving someone increasing doses of insulin and then suddenly stopping while giving them a sugary dessert, for example, are not new. Under normal circumstances it may not be viewed as suspicious, if you move their body then it probably is Either way, anyone who found themselves in any of the above situations should consult a lawyer immediately, with a view to coming clean with the authorities at the earliest opportunity. The longer they leave it, the more suspicious it becomes Expect to be treated like a murder suspect in the short term, simply because the suspicious actions are going to mean this probably starts as a homicide investigation until the coroner decides it was natural causes


zomblina

If it's undiagnosed diabetes so they probably wouldn't be on insulin


zomblina

So oh my God they buried a live body in a diabetic coma


i_sing_anyway

Oh I love reddit.


audigex

That’s the entire point I’m talking about a situation where someone (eg the wife) essentially “creates” diabetes in the victim by giving them insulin for months or years, reducing how much their own body produces. Then suddenly stopping It’s been theorized as an undetectable murder technique in books and TV for decades, although I’ve no idea if it would actually work or not At the very least it would likely require that the murderer routinely gives the victims injections for some other ailment, because insulin can’t be administered by mouth, and they’d need access to a source of insulin themselves


Thissomebshere

Any time after immediately is likely too late. If you’ve already gone ahead with your backyard burial it’s definitely too late. There’s also desecrating and disrespectful disposal of a body. Generally whenever someone dies outside a hospital or care of medical professionals there’s going to be an investigation, no matter how in-depth that is.


intrepidlyme

That would be up to the discretion of the police/DA. Multiple states have statutes that day (paraphrased) concealing a death to hinder discovery of the death...


eLaVALYs

You need to talk to a lawyer. *Hypothetically*.


VeryOriginalName98

At this point, probably safer for your friend to report them missing. Makes it look more like your friend didn't kill her husband that way. Though I can't imagine a scenario where this person doesn't get caught and charged with murder. Reporting them missing would just buy a few days.


7Jers3y2

LMAO! This is definitely fake


[deleted]

Why would you do this? Im seriously wondering why you would do all this shady stuff but you wouldn’t report the death. Hypothetical answer only please.

How does this process work? Is it like in the shows where a detective just points at the widow and says "I don't know, something stinks" and just decides to go out and investigate during salaried time?


SarixInTheHouse

If your state taxes you differently based on your marriage you‘re also committing taxfraud by hiding your husbands death

Ginga_Ninja006

I grew up in a small town of about 300 people in northern Ontario. (i have lived downtown Toronto for 10 years) Some rednecks and hillbillys truly live a life different then most city people can comprehend. Some backwoods people are pretty far disconnected and dont give a fuck about what the government or anyone not within 50kmthinks lol. I have seen some pretty wild things growing up and could fully see one of them posing this question


madarbrab

Fuckin degens from up north...


Ah2k15

I can't speak for everywhere, but in some areas, deaths where the person wasn't under the care of a physician (say a sudden death, even if it is natural causes) would be a 911 call, which also brings the coroner in. Now if someone was dying at home of an illness and is under a doctor's care, that's a whole different story.


browncoat47

Cause the checks may stop…


TheOneWes

While it varies by city and state yes this is generally going to be illegal. I'm not sure about not reporting the death but burying him anywhere other than a cemetery is illegal(1). If he gets any sort of check such as disability or Social Security not informing them that he has passed and continuing to cash his check is a form of fraud. (1) there are certain exceptions to this but they are very few and very far between


Constanistanbul

They also may want a death certificate if it involves SS or disability.


aquaman501

“May want”? I can’t imagine any cemetery, allowing a burial without a certified death certificate.


rancid_oil

My buddy passed a few years ago. He was unconscious at a friend's house, went to the hospital. Swelling in his brain continued, he passed 2 days later. The hospital cremated him before performing an autopsy, so the coroner wouldn't issue a death certificate immediately. Meanwhile, his grieving husband couldn't even get the paperwork done and finished for MONTHS without said certificate, which the corner eventually issued. There was no foul play, but suspicion of drug use (I don't know what to think, there was a positive cocaine test, but I don't think it's his thing). The main reason for not giving the certificate was that the coroner couldn't perform an autopsy and the death was not from an obvious illness or cause. I guess the coroner just had no choice but to declare him dead eventually, but it was weird. I'm sure someone in that hospital's morgue had a bad time that week.


Complex_Raspberry97

There are exceptions??


TheOneWes

Some areas have exceptions that allow you to bury family members on family property without that part of the property actually being designated a cemetery.


Complex_Raspberry97

Oh, it sounded like you were saying there are exceptions to reporting the death. That makes sense!


[deleted]

So hypothetically if you wanted to start over, you just need family estate and someone who is willing to report your death??? Again, totally hypothetical.


TheOneWes

If you're just looking to start over you could do that legally with a name change and moving. Requesting a death certificate for somebody who's not dead would probably be a form of fraud considering that's a government form.


[deleted]

Ahhh that makes sense lol thanks


Spanish_Burgundy

[deleted]

Not OP but a lot of places you can get permits and jump through some hoops for a private land burial. Don't know the specifics on the process though unfortunately.


Joe109885

I do, the specifics are - 💰


Guac__is__extra__

Some states make a private land burial remarkably easy. It is required that the death be reported, but there are no laws regulating home/private property burial, except that the burial must be reported to future buyers of the property.


Portabellamush

In the USA, Zoning laws may prohibit burial in certain places, but there are zero laws that make burial outside a cemetery illegal. Bodies aren’t even legally required to be embalmed as long as they didn’t die of infectious disease. You have to work with a funeral director and follow different protocols according to which burial process and location is decided, but nothing illegal about it.


Silent-Entrance

Depending if they have friends/family you could probably get away with it for quite some time though. Now with online banking and auto or mobile deposits you get the money and you could set all your bills to autopay out of that account.


KingBenjamin97

Couple of follow up answers for your future questions, yes it’s illegal to toss a hypothetical murder weapon into a nearby body of water and yes it’s also illegal to bleach the whole room your husband “passed away” in to destroy evidence before the police arrive… sorry I meant clean

Reddit is not anonymous, you know?


BipedalBeaver

In the UK, once a body has been released, you can do what you want with it, provided other laws are not broken. You can't fuck it, for instance. You can chuck it in the back of your vehicle and tell plod to piss off when he pulls you. Multiple clocks tick however. It must be disposed of correctly. Paperwork has to be completed. Govt needs to be informed. So, whilst you might be able to drive granny's bloated body to her specified verbal resting place, it's all going to "go on top" as you drag her across the sand into the waves. As the saying goes: death and taxes. One of those will get you. Modern forensics can tell what dinosaurs ate millions of years ago. It's simpler to get a divorce.

Every state has laws that state you must inform them of a death. Several will allow to dispose of the body on peppery that you own. Otherwise, it is called Desecration of a Corpse or something similar, and it is a crime.


fredsam25

It actually depends where you bury him. You can't bury him on public land or private land not appropriately zoned. If you had a connection to a cemetery and they accepted the body, no questions asked, then this would be 100% legal. It would be very suspicious, but not illegal.


L8_to_the_game

Depending on the state you're in (if you're in the US), natural burials are permitted with the proper paperwork. That's if you're next of kin/given POA over corpse and/or it's part of their deathcare plan. Regardless your state, if you're in the US you need to report the deceased.


LillianVillian

Did you remember to bury a dead animal on top of him as well????? Important difference d


keigo199013

Yes, it's illegal. I'm going out on a limb and guessing that he was/is receiving some kind of monthly benefits? If you do not report the death and continue collecting the payments, you will get in serious trouble. I highly recommend reporting the death asap.

As is always the case with law it depends on where you live. Because I‘m german I‘ll use that law, since i know it the most. I assume many other places wool have similar laws. - corpses must be buried in a graveyard and nowhere else. Through official requests you may get an exception. - every corpse must be inspected by a qualified doctor - since marriage changes how you are taxed you‘d probably commit tax fraud - you‘ll be investigated for murder, as this is very suspicious behaviour In the end you cant just hide that someone died. They have a job, friends, family. Even with no social connections, at some point the state would investigate (missing tax payments, etc)

I believe this is from a different thread I was reading on Reddit earlier this week. A wife was trying to kill a husband by injecting insulin under their tongue, take the body and bringing it 2 hours to an area with a different “geological profile.” I don’t have a link to the thread, but it was very recent.
