It’s legal to fiddle around with a corpse?

I thought thee were laws against such things.

Then, they tried to unlock the phone by holding the body’s hands up to the phone’s fingerprint sensor.

Lt. Randall Chaney said it was an unsuccessful attempt to access and preserve data on the phone

The probably should have warmed the finger up to human body temperature. I can't think of any other reason why it would not have worked.

Fingerprint ID on iphone doesn’t work after it hasn’t been used for a couple of days.

"While the deceased person doesn’t have a vested interest in the remains of their body, the family sure does, so it really doesn’t pass the smell test,"

Ugh. I think an unfortunate choice of words.

Authorities tried to unlock the iPhone of the Sutherland Springs church shooter after the killer died.

No Go.

It takes a pulse.

I guess I missed that. One would not have expected that to be the problem if the Cops were trying it.

It would have been nice if the officers didn’t do this in the Widow’s presence, but maybe time was of the essence.

What about the electrical charge carried by a live body?

That could be faked if they were of a mind to do it.

Makes sense though.

The city was just trying to mitigate the damages in the soon-to-be-filed civil rights law suit that the city is certainly going to lose. Money damages are going to be a lot worse after this incident.
