Happens all the time. The son of a co-worker died in a car crash and had all his money and high school ring stolen. They even stole his dry cleaning from the car.
My daughter died as a result of injuries she suffered in an auto accident on a lonely stretch of road outside Jasper, Indiana, several years ago. She was airlifted to a local hospital, then to the coroner’s office, then taken to a local funeral home in Jasper, then her body was flown to a funeral home in Houston. Accompanying her remains was all her jewelry, cell phone and her purse including all her credit cards and a couple hundred dollars in cash. Nothing really mattered except for her jewelry which I wanted to keep and was simply amazed that everything was intact, especially since it probably passed through so many hands. Someone along the way had even turned off her cellphone because it still had almost a full charge left and lots and lots of messages. Just a whole bunch of honest, caring people in that part of the country.
