Do they show them victim picture or like really gruesome crime scenes so they can desensitize?

    Found a dead person on my second day.

    Holy shit that was fast. Or is it that common?

      Haha no. Most people who died from natural causes were found by family members and we wouldn’t be involved.

      We would generally only attend if the death was untimely (like a healthy young person), if there had been an “accident” or if the paramedics thought something didn’t seem right.

      We were only called on this occasion because it started as a concern for safety call for an elderly person and we were needed to force entry. Knew pretty much straight away that it wasn’t suspicious, (doors locked with keys on the inside/windows closed/no signs of a struggle etc).

      As a trainee I needed the experience with all different types of job so my tutor would cherry pick incidents and take us to stuff like this to broaden what I was exposed to.
