Re:Cops used dead man’s finger in attempt to access his phone by lsh on Saturday April 21, 2018 @10:13PM (#16894374)
Absolutely. I keep the Tibetan 'sky burial' in mind often these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_burial

and some videos if you're not squeemish: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sky+burial

But ultimately these are beliefs that are held by living people, shaped by culture and time.

> and that the body must be intact for this to happen.

again, the corpse wasn't desecrated or cut up. It's fingerprint was used to access a phone in an attempt to solve a crime affecting living people.
