This is not quite Never Found the Body — it's found, all right. More specifically, bits and pieces are found. Usually refers to a very violent death, as either only a few measly fragments of a body are found, or it's been so destroyed you need a mop to clean it up and a bucket (not a body bag) to carry it in. The inevitable result of Turbine Blender, frequent result of Ludicrous Gibs, and often a consequence of the Chunky Salsa Rule. Note that this doesn't preclude what's left of the person being buried, although sometimes alternate arrangements may be made. This is sometimes used to trick the audience or characters into believing that someone is dead who is still alive, as they never found the rest of the body. The character may later show up with a prosthesis in the place of the missing body part, or a new outfit or weapon, if all that was found was their mangled accessories. This is often used for those who die in explosions or burning buildings. Albeit it is typically used implausibly since, with the exception of nuclear explosions, neither usually possesses the power to completely atomize a human body. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware! |

The victim of Case 5 in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Kokichi Oma, is found in this kind of state due to having been crushed by a hydraulic press - all our heroes find is a huge blood splatter coming out of the press. The press was also broken by the culprit, so the other remaining parts of the body go mercifully unseen. | |

Bleach: More than a few people leave no body behind after the protagonists are finished with them. Most of Grimmjow's Fracciones leave no corpse behind after Hitsugaya's unit kills them in various ways. Zommari's body becomes dust in the wind after Byakuya defeats him. Ulquiorra crumbles to dust after his body becomes critically injured at the hands of a Hollowfied Ichigo, leaving the latter unsatisfied at the fight's conclusion once he comes to his senses. After Soifon hits Ggio Vega in the same spot twice with Suzumebachi, his body disintegrates completely after a few seconds. Baraggan's body ages to nothing under the effect of his own ability once Hachi turns it against him. Tousen explodes into a puddle of blood after Hisagi defeats him. It's strongly implied, however, that this was Aizen's doing as part of his promise to kill Tousen without mercy if he ever forgave his enemies. Yamamoto incinerates Driscoll Berci as payback for killing Sasakibe. We are treated to the sight of his skin and flesh burning off of his bones, before even those are burned to ash. Yhwach makes sure to utterly eradicate Yamamoto's corpse after mutilating him, ensuring he cannot be resurrected by Orihime or anyone else. The only thing left of him after this are the shattered fragments of Ryujin Jakka. Once Renji whips out his true Bankai against Mask De Masculine, his Zaga Teppo technique burns the Sternritter from the inside out, leaving him to slowly crumble to ash. Mayuri kills Pernida by preventing the latter from eating Nemu's brain, which prevents it from controlling her overwhelming capability for cell regeneration and turns it into a mass of cancerous tissue that eventually explodes. |

Pulser darts, from the Honor Harrington novels, don't so much tear through their victims as they do shred them. And then there's kinetic weapons, which vaporize anything in range into very small pieces. 'Small' as in 'subatomic'. Graphically illustrated after the fall of the Masadan theocracy; domestic violence rates skyrocketed, as abused wives frequently murdered their husbands. Some of them got... creative. | |

Fist of the North Star: A declaration that Kenshiro often makes to evildoers is that not so much as a hair of them will remain in the world. Due to the way the series' titular Hokuto Shinken works, it's not an idle threat either; sometimes people don't merely explode so much as disintegrate when he hits them, such as the Colonel of Godland. | |

Dragon Ball: In the original series, King Piccolo's body explodes after Goku's final attack, leaving no recognizable remains. Dragon Ball Z: Both Cell and Majin Buu die this way, from ki attacks that result in total bodily disintegration. Both have fantastic regenerative abilities, so if there was enough left to bury, a burial would be unnecessary. In the Cell Arc, Goku goes out this way the second time, getting caught in the epicenter of an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. Unlike the other notable examples in this series, this wasn't wholly necessary to kill him, but a byproduct of him moving an Earth-Shattering Kaboom off of Earth. |

Harry Potter: In the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, it's said that the largest piece of Peter Pettigrew that was ever found after he was killed by Sirius Black was his finger. He was actually a traitor and cut off the finger to simultaneously fake his death and frame Black for his crimes. Invoked in the second book as well, where Snape comments that whoever faces Neville Longbottom in a practice duel will likely be sent to the infirmary in a matchbox. (In the movie, it's Ron's malfunctioning wand that earns the quip.) Played with in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Barty Crouch Jr. murders Barty Crouch Sr. and transfigures his corpse into a small bone...before burying the bone in the Forbidden Forest. In the seventh book, "Mad-Eye" Moody's body was never recovered. It wasn't until Harry recovered his eponymous magical eye that he got any sort of burial at all. |

Discussed several times in the various BattleTech source books and quite a few BattleTech Expanded Universe stories, and with good reason. A lot of people die in ways that preclude having something to bury, most often involving cockpit hits or reactor/ammo explosions, or sometimes 'Mech-scale weapons being used on people. One particular instance in "Double Blind" has a mercenary unit trying to bury one of their fallen, only to examine the 'Mech and find little more than intermingled bits of charred bone and metal fragments in the ruined cockpit, intermixed and vaporized by a PPC shot to the 'Mech's head. They treat these remains as their comrade's ashes and spread them from the air. | |

Attack on Titan: In the first chapter, a woman runs up to the returning Redshirt Army and begs them to tell her where her son is. The commanding officer gives her a small bundle which turns out to contain a severed hand — that's all that was left of him after the Titans got him. Apparently this is very, very common for the Survey Corps (if they can even find body parts). | |

In The Devil Game, a Creepypasta, it's described that one may end up in the same room as the Devil if the summoning goes wrong. The summoner's fate is left to the imagination of the reader, but it's said that how much of the body is found and in what state depends on the Devil's mood. | |

In Discworld: It is said that if someone is affected by the blowfish poison, you don't need to hold a funeral — just repaint the walls. Also from Discworld, some of the learning opportunities in the Unseen University have led to unfortunates being returned to the grieving parents as gloop in a bucket, with a note saying "we did warn him". In Thud!, troll mob boss Crysophrase assures Vimes that some trolls who were foolish enough to threaten his family against his orders were "dealt with", and asks if they've ever thought of adding a rockery to Ramkin Manor while gesturing to a box the narration describes as "not big enough to contain an entire troll".

In the first episode of Torchwood: Children of Earth, the villains blow up Jack with a bomb inside his stomach. In the next episode, they only find small pieces of his body remaining, from which he still manages to regenerate. Unfortunately, he wakes up loooooong before he's done healing. He screams. A lot.

Slipping Between Worlds: This is a common fate for those caught by car bombs in Stroke Country. In general, the family is sent a tightly sealed coffin with whatever bits could be located, sand to make up the missing weight, and a gently worded message to a family member (usually one with military or law enforcement background) to discourage people from trying to sneak a peek, since there is nothing in the coffin that's identifiable as the remains of a loved one anyway. Denise Holtack bursts into hysterical laughter when she realizes that the family getting together to mourn around a coffin full of Stroke Country concrete rubble that may or may not contain a few atoms of her deceased brother's carbonized blood is exactly the kind of sick joke he would find hilarious. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, the disintegrate spell does this. One of the reasons why this spell is used is because the game's most common resurrection spells require a more-or-less intact corpse, and disintegrate leaves nothing but dust. Of course, higher-level resurrection spells can still work on the dust (or even without the dust). | |

In the Shadows of Yog Sothoth adventure supplement, during the climax, the Keeper (referee) is advised not to let a certain symbol protect the characters, except possibly by allowing a piece of a body the size of the symbol to survive destruction. | |

At the end of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Paz is blown to bits by a bomb hidden inside of her, with the resulting explosion also knocking Snake's helicopter out of the air. This is further highlighted in the intro to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, where the doctor overseeing Snake's recovery from this incident mentions that fragments of human bone and teeth had to be surgically removed from his body — fragments belonging to Paz, no doubt. | |

MonsterVerse: Naturally, this happens a lot with gigantic monsters. But special attention goes to Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), who goes out of his way to blast humans to unrecognizable ashes with his heads' Gravity Beams instead of causing accidental collateral. Godzilla ultimately does this to Ghidorah as a requirement due to the latter's Healing Factor, vaporizing his entire body piece by piece, although The Stinger reveals there's still a (seemingly-)dead leftover head that was decapitated earlier in the film. | |

On NCIS three American soldiers in Afghanistan were blown up by a bomb and only pieces of their bodies were recovered. And if that wasn't enough, as they were being shipped back to the States to be officially identified, the plane that was carrying them crashed, damaging the remains to the point where most ways of identifying them would be useless. The remains turn out to be those of only two of the soldiers since the third was instead captured by terrorists and held captive. | |

Superman: The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, Supergirl's villain Lesla-Lar gets vaporized when she gets shot with a disintegrator raygun. In The Immortal Superman, an energy beast's body disintegrates when it is exposed to harmful energies. In Reign of Doomsday, Doomslayer rips apart Eradicator, whose energy body is dissolved into nothingness. Subverted in Who is Superwoman?. When her Magitek super-suit gets shredded, the ensuing explosion utterly obliterates Lucy Lane's body. All that is left of Superwoman is tiny scraps of flesh and hair scattered over the ground. However, her cells had been altered with DNA alien and imbued with magic when she was turned into Superwoman, which lets her unconsciously regenerate her entire body from those little flesh bits. The Strange Revenge of Lena Luthor: When Supergirl punches Mind-Bomber's head, he loses control of his powers and is caught in his own explosion's blast. Supergirl X-Rays the place and reckons he has been disintegrated. Subverted in The Supergirl from Krypton (2004). Kara throws herself between Darkseid's blast and Superman, and is apparently reduced to smoking ashes. Though, it turns out that Kara was teleported away and swapped with a pile of ashes to trick Darkseid into believing she had been killed. In The Phantom Zone, General Zod and his criminal gang toss an unconscious Supergirl into the Fortress of Solitude's Disintegration Pit, expecting her to be burned to ashes by radioactive blazes. The Plague of the Antibiotic Man: Subverted. Superman throws a volcano at Nam-Ek, expecting to weaken him. Though, Nam-Ek disappears without a trace. Superman analyzes the lava, finds traces of Kryptonite, and feeling horrified, he believes Nam-Ek lost his powers and was burned to ashes by a tide of molten rock. Later, though, he discovers that Nam-Ek was merely teleported away. Let My People Grow!: Invoked when Brainiac declares there will be literally nothing left of Superman when he is done with him. The Leper from Krypton: Invoked. Superman is dying from an incurable, virulent disease and has only a few hours left. Since he does not want to risk spreading the disease, he builds a rocket and sets course for the hottest star in the universe, where he expects to be turned into a pile of ashes. Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends: According to Brainiac 5, when his infamous ancestor was struck by his own shrinking ray as fighting Superman, he completely disappeared. |

Several deaths in the Danganronpa series end in this. The culprit of case 2 in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Peko Pekoyama, is reduced to this after being stabbed repeatedly by samurai robots, leaving nothing but blood splatter behind. It's lampshaded when the one person who was close to the deceased wants to hold a funeral, "even though there's nothing left of" the person. The victim of Case 5 in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Kokichi Oma, is found in this kind of state due to having been crushed by a hydraulic press - all our heroes find is a huge blood splatter coming out of the press. The press was also broken by the culprit, so the other remaining parts of the body go mercifully unseen. |

My Hero Academia Endeavor claims that his eldest son Toya burned to death in 2000-degree Celsius flames, and the only part of him left after the fire was a piece of his lower jawbone. In reality, Toya survived with horrific burn scars and became the villain Dabi, who sought vengeance against Endeavor. Tomura Shigaraki's Decay Quirk can cause those it affects to rot away until there's nothing left. The hands he wears on his villain costume are all that is left of his family, who died when his Quirk first awakened. |

In the second installment of the Fear Effect series, one of Hana's brutal deaths results in this. She's in an elevator shaft, and after a look of stunned fear and a cutoff shriek, her body gets obliterated by the elevator, leaving a bloody smear on the wall. Any remaining bits of her would have likely fit into a small baggy. | |

The curator of the museum, who came up with the plan, reveals her Freudian Excuse to Kino- her husband and children's death- and that this trope applied to her husband. | |

In Deep Rock Galactic, you can sometimes find a lost helmet that once belonged to another dwarf, which points to a location where they might be found. When you get there, all you find is discarded body armor and several pieces of materials strewn about. Your dwarf will sometimes lament over the loss of a fellow dwarf and might sometimes say they'll take their lost gear home as a way of paying their last respects. | |

At the end of the episode after they caught the guy that did it, Medavoy gave the girl's father some crime scene dirt which had some of her blood in it; in the Hassidem(sp) circle you have to bury the whole body, and Medavoy wanted to give the father as much of the remains as there were available. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Both Cell and Majin Buu die this way, from ki attacks that result in total bodily disintegration. Both have fantastic regenerative abilities, so if there was enough left to bury, a burial would be unnecessary. In the Cell Arc, Goku goes out this way the second time, getting caught in the epicenter of an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. Unlike the other notable examples in this series, this wasn't wholly necessary to kill him, but a byproduct of him moving an Earth-Shattering Kaboom off of Earth. |

The Other Side of Doomsday: Subverted. When a mysterious beam hits Linda Danvers, Iris West, and Jean Loring, it looks like they have been reduced to three little mounds of soot. However, it is revealed that they were teleported into another dimension, and the soot were residuals of the teleportation beam. | |

Mission to Mars: The crew of the first human mission to the Red Planet gets attacked by a killer sand tornado that rose from the Face on Mars and the only survivor manages to find and bury the body of the astronaut who got her face smashed-in by a flying rock, while he digs graves in the memory of the other two that got brutally sucked and torn to pieces by the vortex. | |

The Lovely Bones: Susie Salmon's body is dismembered after she is killed, and her elbow is eventually found out by the authorities (which allows them to confirm that she is indeed dead). However, the rest of her remains are stored in a safe by her killer, George Harvey, and the safe is dumped into a sinkhole, so they will probably never be found. | |

In the Proud Immortal Demon Way timeline of The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong, Luo Binghe's plans for Yue Qingyuan's mortal remains are for a grisly Past Victim Showcase rather than a respectful burial, but after being shot with ten thousand poisoned arrows, there isn't enough left of Yue Qingyuan's body for that either. Luo Binghe instead displays Yue Qingyuan's sword Xuan Su, in several pieces itself, to a horrified Shen Qingqiu. | |
