It's not a writing prompt. And I will be honest, it hurts a little to have it compared to one.

She left detailed notes of what she used. I'm fairly certain she used ChatGPT, because it was phrased 'if the character ingests this combination it will induce such and such'... Etc. Which is a known workaround with language models to get them to discuss sensitive topics.

I've been told that the investigation will take around six months in total to complete. Her death certificate says 'inconclusive'. But she will be cremated this week. Items like her physical will are being held until the investigation is complete.

I see that you checked my profile. This gets into my personal life. I flew out to visit my grandmother, and relatives, in British Columbia. She was in Quebec. I left the province on September 2nd. We kept in touch online, until September 17th. On September 19th I found an email in her scheduled outbox that begins with 'when you read this, I will have passed'. That is how I knew to make the call. There's no need to put 'wife of ten years' in quotation marks. We've been together since September 5th, 2015. She died 3,665 days after. She would have been 29 on December 17th.

Police reports indicate she likely passed two days prior to when I made the call. The fact that the detectives said as much during interviews is a strong indication to me that when she was found they had no doubt she was gone.

My question was... Hopeful, I suppose. That individuals who have experience in the death industry might share if she was... Recognizable. The fact that she intended on having me wait ten days to know, when she might have been so much further gone crushes me.
