Death. The End. Once you're down for the count, you aren't getting back up. There's no way you can tell the police or other law enforcement agencies who dunnit to you. Fortunately, the authorities have advanced technology, or in fantasy settings, necromancers or Police Psychics at their disposal that can either revive or channel you or scan your post-mortem mind in order to gather information. So just lie back on that slab and start talking. Eye Remember is a subtrope based on a folk belief that the last thing a person sees when dying is burned or imprinted onto the eyes themselves. Sometimes overlaps with Dead Person Conversation, I See Dead People, and Ghost Memory. Compare Fate Worse than Death, when the interrogation is more about torturing the dead. Examples |

Fringe: Walter Bishop has developed a technique to extract information from a corpse, provided the body has been dead for less than five hours. It is implied that William Bell is capable of doing this as well. Fringe likes this trope. As well as providing the page quote, they have used the aforementioned technology to interrogate two people, sent the protagonist into a dreamstate to interrogate the mental ghost of her partner formed after a telepathic conversation, and used the "the eyes store the last thing you see" version. |

Kid Eternity: Kid Eternity sometimes used his power to summon anyone from the afterlife to assist him just to ask questions to deceased people he was convinced would have information that would help him in his present adventure, often to solve disputes that were related to the demise of whoever he summoned. On some occasions, he'd even get someone framed of committing murder acquitted by interviewing the victim for evidence that could be used to identify the real murderer as well as prove the accused's innocence. | |

There are various ways to do this in The Dresden Files, most of them against strictly-enforced rules. Rules enforced with pointy objects and angry wizards. Molly does one of the legitimate ones, on what turned out to be the victim of a succubus. Awkwardness ensued for the watchers. Most of those other ways tend to involve Necromancy, and invite Wardens to come and behead people. | |

Discworld: Played for laughs in the story "Theatre of Cruelty", in which it's mentioned that the existence of zombies mean that the victims are sometimes the key witnesses in their own murder. Also played straight-ish (as straight as any trope on the Disc can be played, anyways) in Making Money, where a dead professor from the Unseen University is brought back to consult on an ancient civilization. |

Torchwood occasionally has the Torchwood team use a gauntlet that can revive the dead for about a minute to aid the investigation. It's a piece of Imported Alien Phlebotinum they acquired before the series begins and they don't have the first clue how it actually works. It also ended up kicking off the whole plot of the pilot episode: Torchwood operative Susie Costello had a pet theory that it held the key to immortality, and was attempting to learn more about it... which, unfortunately, required a steady supply of fresh corpses. You can see where this is going, can't you? | |

In Beka Cooper, the titular character has a minor magical affinity for spirits. Usually the dead quickly pass into the Peaceful Realms, but those with Unfinished Business are carried by pigeons until that business has resolved or enough time passes that they just slip into the afterlife anyway. Beka can simply listen to them in the first book and they're rarely aware of her or their circumstances, but in the second and third they half-possess the birds they're riding and can have actual conversations with her. The mage she meets in the third book, Farmer Cape, can use magic to listen and participate in these conversations, as well as to talk to people already in the Peaceful Realms - though he does note that due to how the afterlife works, the longer they've been dead the less they remember. Farmer is grateful that when he learned and tried to speak to his late father, it was early enough that his father's spirit remembered his son even if he couldn't remember his name. | |

Ronan sometimes interrogates dead people in Murdered: Soul Suspect though it's not as helpful as one would expect because death is kind of traumatic and the victims remember as much as a normal person would, which is not much. In a nice twist, Ronan can do this because he is also dead. | |

The Order of the Stick: Parodied when Xykon has Redcloak necromantically question a dead goblin to find his lost keys. Played straighter later, when Durkon casts Speak with Dead on a deceased Draketooth clan member. The end result is still humor at the Order's expense, since a dead brain takes the questions very literally. |

Dungeons & Dragons has the third-level clerical spell Speak with Dead. Although it actually draws information from an "imprint" left on the body rather than truly bringing them back to life. It allows you to ask one question of the dead person per two caster levels (up to 10 for a max-level cleric). One drawback to Speak With Dead is that it requires the corpse to have a mostly intact mouth; Genre Savvy killers with enough time can defeat attempts to use by removing or destroying, say, the victim's jawbone. Another drawback is that it only works once, ever. So you'd better be careful what you ask, and hope that the killer wasn't a mage that cast the spell themselves to prevent your attempt. | |

Baldur's Gate III: The Speak with Dead spell which works on most humanoid corpses, to varying degrees of usefulness. Sometimes it's just fluff and Easter Eggs, other times it's another way to learn information that you accidentally lost somehow, and sometimes there's unique information that you can only glean from talking to the recently deceased (for example Auntie Ethel's hideous real plan for Mayrina's daughter). | |

Standard police procedure in Altered Carbon due to everyone having a cortical stack that stores their memories and can be loaded into a new body or virtual reality. However, Neo-Catholics can't legally be "spun up" due to religious objections, which has led to the underworld using them as Disposable Sex Workers and even faking official conversions sometimes. | |

Part of Spirit of Justice's court gameplay involves channeling the recently deceased in order to play back what they saw in the moments before they died in a large pool of water at the center of the courtroom. It is what the kingdom of Khura'in does in lieu of letting defense attorneys argue on behalf of the accused (which they outlawed sometime prior to the game so they could move to the theocratic court system). Phoenix's job is to look through this "footage" and figure out what doesn't jive with the facts, as they can be misinterpreted from what really happened. Furthermore, "The Rite of Turnabout" is the first time Maya channels a victim onscreen. The victim is then interrogated and cross-examined like any other witness. The victim was technically one of the culprits, as he killed himself and covered up another murder so that they could not pin it up on his wife. | |

A high-level Wayward creed power in Hunter: The Reckoning allows them to do this by looking into the eyes of the deceased, although if the deceased in question happened to be misinformed about something, they'll pass that misinformation on, thinking it to be the truth. The Wayward isn't automatically aware of whether the deceased is right or wrong, so double-checking may be required. | |

In the world of The Goblin Emperor, some clergy of Ulis have the ability to do this, termed Witnessing for the Dead in-universe. The discoveries of Witnesses are legally admissible, and any social stigma against the practice comes from divine magic being considered unfashionable and superstitious in some circles rather than any negative connotations of necromancy. | |

As explained in the first game, in the DL-6 incident, being a Locked Room Mystery, the police decided to ask the master of a spirit channeling school to channel the murder victim to know the killer's name. This led to the spirit of the murder victim accusing an actually innocent man for his death, and that led to the master (and the entire spirit channeling school) becoming disgraced. Eventually, Phoenix discovers the truth: Gregory Edgeworth accused Yanni Yogi because only Gregory, his son Miles, and Yanni were trapped in that elevator, and Miles was Gregory's son; of course Gregory would never incriminate him. All three were actually unconscious from oxygen deprivation when Gregory was murdered, so Gregory never knew that his killer was someone outside the elevator- Manfred von Karma, who'd opened the doors when everyone inside was out cold and taken the chance to kill Gregory for getting him penalized in court earlier. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves features the heroes using a "Speak With Dead" spell on the graves of a Barbarian Tribe to ask what they know about the whereabouts of the Helm of Disjunction. Like in the game, it briefly reanimates a corpse to ask exactly five questions before they die again for real, but the party learns the hard way that any question, including rhetorical ones and questions amongst themselves count (and more inconveniently for the corpses, they have to be asked no less than five lest they be left hanging). They end up taking a while to dig up several corpses to find what they're looking for. | |

Judge Dredd: After people die, some mental traces still linger for a while, so Psi-Judges often probe the minds of corpses to investigate the circumstances of their deaths.

The Sandman (1989): Arc "A Game of You": Thessaly the witch, having disposed of her More than Meets the Eye neighbour George for trying to kill her, promptly brings his spirit back, by cutting his face off and nailing it to the wall, in order to find out who sent him. She later interrogates the recently deceased Wilknison as well. Mercifully, it's much less violent, likely because he's an aspect of a dream world. In "The Kindly Ones" arc, the second Corinthian is able to witness the memories of those whose eyes he eats. |

A specialty of the Lan Sect in Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi. Members are taught a musical language they can then infuse with spiritual power, allowing spirits to answer in the same language. If the questioner is strong enough, they can compel the spirit to only speak the truth. Wei Wuxian also uses a technique called Empathy (it's unclear whether he invented, refined, or merely prefers the technique) that is far more dangerous but also far more comprehensive, allowing him to experience the spirit's memories. | |

Ace Attorney often deconstructs the nature of this trope as even the dead might not know (or may not be willing to tell) the circumnstances behind their death: As explained in the first game, in the DL-6 incident, being a Locked Room Mystery, the police decided to ask the master of a spirit channeling school to channel the murder victim to know the killer's name. This led to the spirit of the murder victim accusing an actually innocent man for his death, and that led to the master (and the entire spirit channeling school) becoming disgraced. Eventually, Phoenix discovers the truth: Gregory Edgeworth accused Yanni Yogi because only Gregory, his son Miles, and Yanni were trapped in that elevator, and Miles was Gregory's son; of course Gregory would never incriminate him. All three were actually unconscious from oxygen deprivation when Gregory was murdered, so Gregory never knew that his killer was someone outside the elevator- Manfred von Karma, who'd opened the doors when everyone inside was out cold and taken the chance to kill Gregory for getting him penalized in court earlier. And in Trials and Tribulations, Phoenix gets to cross-examine a ghost that is being channeled. Said ghost is the Big Bad and Phoenix’s psycho ex-girlfriend, and not only is she twisting the facts to spite Phoenix, she is honestly unaware of a few unimportant details; she doesn't know that the person channeling her was killed (though she admits her memory is fuzzy around that point), and she doesn't know who is channeling her in the courtroom. Part of Spirit of Justice's court gameplay involves channeling the recently deceased in order to play back what they saw in the moments before they died in a large pool of water at the center of the courtroom. It is what the kingdom of Khura'in does in lieu of letting defense attorneys argue on behalf of the accused (which they outlawed sometime prior to the game so they could move to the theocratic court system). Phoenix's job is to look through this "footage" and figure out what doesn't jive with the facts, as they can be misinterpreted from what really happened. Furthermore, "The Rite of Turnabout" is the first time Maya channels a victim onscreen. The victim is then interrogated and cross-examined like any other witness. The victim was technically one of the culprits, as he killed himself and covered up another murder so that they could not pin it up on his wife. |

Charmed (1998): One episode features an evil spirit that possesses one of the sisters after killing its previous host. The demon who was pursuing the spirit finds the previous host's body later in the episode and uses his powers to momentarily resurrect said host in order to learn the identity of the spirit's new host. Once he has the desired information, the dead previous host is unceremoniously re-killed. Another episode involves Phoebe trying to convince a room of jurors that a magician didn't kill his wife and that he only knew where to find the body and the weapon was due to a premonition. The jurors grow increasingly skeptical, so what does Phoebe do? Cast a spell to summon the dead wife. |

A variation in Custom Robo for the Gamecube. Marcia, your mostly stoic female team member, has the ability to 'half dive,' that is, read another person's control cube and see the last thing they saw from the viewpoint of their machine. Somewhat akin to watching a person's last saved replay. This is helpful in that it lets her identify the suspect when a man is found murdered after a match: the problem is no one is prepared for the murderer to be an apparently-autonomous robot. | |
