It has been suggested that the reason EVRD Eddie reacted to Kate's clothing was because she had contact with one or more cadavers prior to going to Praia da Luz. This raises some important issues about cadavers, cadaver scent and contamination.
Firstly, it is my understanding that KM was a GP. As such I would have thought that her contact with any dead people would be minimal. When a GP is called out to a potential sudden death they don't normally get involved other than to check for any signs if life. Contact will be minimal and even then they will disinfect their hands if gloves weren't worn.
We know that cadaver scent is only released after a period of around 90 minutes has passed following death. It is highly unlikely that any GP would be attending a deceased person so long after death and even if they did they would not have any reason to have contact with the body at that late stage.
Clothing worn by a GP on duty would unlikely to have been taken on holiday abroad.
For all the reasons above therefore I find it extremely difficult to believe that KM carried any cadaver contaminants with her on holiday.
When my son died, neither GP disinfected their hands nor wore gloves... and there was a fair delay before they arrived. As he had been dying for a long time they had little need to do much other than confirm death.
When my hubbies relative died suddenly and unexpectedly a couple of months ago, it was a completely different scenario.
The GP might not have been called until the morning to someone who had died, without anyone being present, during the night... or even died days before
With all respect, John, once again we dont know the circumstances and it is wrong to be judgemental. To jump to conclusions which may be wrong.
