How To Search Facebook Photos?

In the era of Facebook, when you can find photos of anyone just through an internet search, do the police still need someone who knew the deceased to identify the body?

• Answer:

  Coroners prefer that someone personally identify a body as being someone they know for legal purposes. If identification is made by DNA or fingerprints, or a photo, then the technician(s) involved in the identification could all possibly be subpoenaed to court to testify if there is some dispute later. This could be expensive and time-consuming. If the Mr. Joe Blow comes in and says, "Yes, that's my wife," the coroner notes that in his report and he's done.
