A work colleague lost her husband due to him coming off his bike and dying. The accident had from memory severed the spine and spinal cord and caused severe trauma to the chest. A friend who is a doctor when I told him said that the injuries and lack of pulse and breathing would be a good indicator at the scene that the victim was dead. I said would a doctor be needed to confirm this and was told no the paramedics/police can do it. He said in the case I'd mentioned it would fairly obvious from just looking at the body.
