Surely it doesn’t take more than 24 hours to find someone to identify most dead bodies? They don’t need to be viewed after they’ve been identified.

Bodies don't need to be viewed just as a sunset does not need to be admired. But people choose to do both activities all the same.

I never claimed that - you've imagined that - so why would I have information on it?
