a) If you are a serial murderer you can be telling me your limo is triple parked all you want; you are not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier. Forensic science is there to discover exactly what the 5 journalistic w's and 1h are in your specific case.
b) When you discover something, you are most likely using a long-ago invented, tried, and abandoned solution (to a past problem) to tackle modern issues; that being said, why can't we use methods such as corpse incineration, that have been tried during the Middle Ages on the Black Death, on the current Ebola epidemic?

Get the MEI mug.the act of committing suicide (but not as the name suggests, harakiri, the actual Japanese ritual of suicide by disembowelment. often used historically by the samurai).
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian, G-d only knows why people commit such an irrational act. It's probably because they've reached a point in their existence where they can't find life's meaning even in a religious setting. There's always hope even in the secular setting, by getting a social worker or psychotherapist. You can always pull the roasted chestnuts out of the fire no matter how dire the situation seems to be.
son: so, what do we tell a person about to commit suicide? "don't burn your bridges"? and that they should stop rejecting the help that they deserve?
father: yup.
