Bloody drummers. You cant even trust their Dads either now. Tsk tsk!

[icastle]

The house will be treated as a potential crime scene until the postmortem is completed if the cause of death was sudden and unexpected.

How long it's going to take really depends on what the pathologist finds.

Actually, I thought I'd heard everything, but I guess not.

OK, it's official, BC is odder than MusicRadar

The rhythm guitarist did it in the study with the lead piping.

I'm seeing an entirely new series called Noisey Witness

A series of baffling murders that are solved by an internet forum consisting of bass players...

Bizarre story indeed, but I wouldn't just assume the police won't let you get your gear. I would contact them and explain your situation and ask if you can get your gear. If not then at least you'll have a contact who can confirm the story if you have to cancel the gig.

Or 'Violent Shitness' as it's known in our house. You don't want to know what we call Waking The Dead.

In all likelihood I would expect the crime scene to be stood down before then. Once all potential evidence has been collected it will probably be stood down, as long as there is nothing outwardly suspicious about the state of the deceased or evidence of third party involvement. An HO Post Mortem can't always be conducted on the same day the deceased is recovered. I guess it mostly depends on circumstances we (and the OP) are not privvy to.

In any event, you won't be going near that gear until the scene is stood down, so you might as well not get too hung up on it.

Be funny if he killed her with your bass and you couldn't get it back until the trial was over.

[Prime_BASS]

This is the oddest thing I've ever heard.
