Which question is NOT part of the five essential questions to be answered when investigating a death?

  1. Who was the deceased?

  2. By what means did the death occur?

  3. What was the last meal of the deceased?

  4. How did the death occur?

The correct answer is: What was the last meal of the deceased?

The question regarding the last meal of the deceased is not one of the five essential questions typically involved in death investigations. The primary focus of these essential questions is to establish pivotal details about the identity of the deceased, the circumstances surrounding the death, and the manner in which it occurred. Inquiring about the last meal does not directly contribute to understanding the cause or manner of death, nor does it help clarify key details regarding the identity of the deceased or the events leading up to the death. This question is more peripheral and does not align with the core investigative objectives, making it less relevant in the context of a thorough death investigation.
