Explained in plain English

How are bodies usually found?

Bodies are most commonly found in homes, hospitals, or public spaces, often by family members, emergency services, or passers-by. Finding a body in a wheelie bin, as with Ali Barzai, is unusual and often indicates an attempt to conceal the body or the crime.
