If the latter case is true, head on over to the morgue and scan the body. Hopefully the person who brought them in wore the Medbay standard-issue Nitrile gloves, or you might find yourself with a rather annoying case of mistaken identity. If this was not the case, be sure to identify who hauled the body in - And ideally, anyone who touched it during the process. | If the latter case is true, head on over to the morgue and scan the body.

Similarly, if there is blood but no body, you can easily identify the deceased. | Once you've finished surveying the crime scene, return to either your office or the nearest easy-access Security outpost (if you can get past the outer department doors, you have access to any departmental security office).
