Staging. In a
sense, staging is the central element of this homicide. The mercy killer
arranges the body to represent a peaceful, natural death. The death is most
often staged to look like a natural death, but it is possible that accidental
or suicidal death is staged. For the hero killer, it is a miscarried at- tempt
to stage a scenario, a life-threatening crisis, in which the offender has the
starring role as the hero. The fireman or arsonist sets the fire, only to rush
back for the rescue. The nurse or emergency medical technician makes a timely
response to the person after inducing the state of crisis. The target is made
to look like a victim of a natural calamity (for example, a cardiac arrest), an
accident (faulty wiring that starts the fire), or perhaps criminal activity (hit
and run, mugging, arson).
