Wasn't going to post this except I thought it sounded like a Midsomer Murders plot, crossed with Hot Fuzz "his death was not initially treated as suspicious"...

How exactly do the police find someone dead of a shotgun blast to the face, and not consider it possibly to be murder?

I'm guessing animals had got at him during the night disguising the injuries.

Mr Low's death was initially deemed non-suspicious - which one police witness accepted had been a 'glaring mistake' - and it was not until five days later that police began treating it as murder.

This was despite the fact Mr Low was found to have around 30 injuries from shotgun pellets and that pellets fell from his body bag when it was brought to a mortuary.

No bears or wolves left up there these days, nibbled by pine martens perhaps?

This is really going to help with the firearms licensing review.

There hasn't been a recorded murder here for over 20 years

it's for the greater good
