I remember thinking why did they use a bag. I associate that with crime scenes but given the confines of the exit, it makes sense doesn't it?

I think a bag is the norm. Why waste a good coffin for a short trip!! My grandmother was an undertaker, she had lots if insight stories to tell!!

She was in a body bag on a stretcher and coming down from the flat she was almost upright!!

Bodies are usually removed on a stretcher and covered. A body bag is rarely used unless the body is in a bad way. Stretchers are a lot easier to manoeuvre down stairs and round awkward corners.

I thought that but times have changed I guess. Anyone know if there was to be an investigation into Hayley's death? I've missed some episodes.

There will be an autopsy to establish the cause of death

That's what I thought; they're not the norm.
