Crime Scene
Indicators Frequently Noted. For the mercy killer, the instrument of death is
one of opportunity, often common to the institutional setting (drugs, syringes
for air injection, or toxic substances, for example). Signs of struggle are
minimal or absent. In an institutional setting, the hero killer creates the
crisis, usually with drugs. Syringes, medicine vials, and similar items should
be collected for analysis of medications or substances peculiar to that
patient’s case or condition. In cases involving an emergency, the hero killer
is conveniently present. If the suspicious death involves a fire, elements of
arson may be found.
