In tiefling cosplay news, I'm getting very close to a properly seamless "horn the same colour as the character's skin" look (sorry about my makeup in this, I tested it out right after streaming).

They'll also look at the position of the body (has it been positioned post-mortem?), the space in which the body was found, goods found with the body, etc.

I believe there's a body found at Avebury which was identified as an accident (big stone fell on him).

There is still an awful lot of guesswork, of course.
Ooo, I think I read about that guy in a Horrible History book. Is this the incident of "you know what, let's not try and clear away these very cursed seeming stones..."?
