37. No, it's the police who have already said 'no foul play' despite not having a cause of death

and a sequence of events that involves strange goings-on and someone walking away from the death of their apparent fiancee, claiming to be under the impression that authorities just deal with everything without them being told.

Failure to report a death seems to be illegal in most places, to me. It does, after all, make it far too easy to cover up the cause of death.

I suppose being someone's fiancee doesn't put you in a formal position of a duty of care, so you're right, it wouldn't be manslaughter. The idea that he suddenly decided he wanted to die from a mysterious cause stinks to high heaven, though, so I think her role is still highly suspicious.

ask for the police first, to get advice on what the law says"

That's not what the police do.

They do in civilised countries.
