Sometimes, the character is really dead. Corpse and Meaningful Funeral and everything. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Someone has to go through their belongings, packing them off to their family or what have you. There are surprises, usually — of every stripe, from the good to the horrifically bad — though sometimes it just grieves the character doing it. Perhaps because so little is left of the dead person, which may make him reflect that he will never know him now, perhaps merely because of the reminder. Often contains a photograph, similar to the Fatal Family Photo, but in this case, the character will obviously be unable to ask who is in it. Adds a bittersweet note to the discovery. Another version of this trope is when someone is searching a dead enemy soldier and discovers his family photo, reminding him (and the audience) that these people were something other than Faceless Mooks. Contrast If You Die, I Call Your Stuff — this trope demonstrates the respect Due to the Dead. Removing stuff from the body includes only what is culturally acceptable to remove; otherwise, see Robbing the Dead. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Spoilers ahead. |

Variation in Watchmen: Rorschach's rooting around in Edward Blake's apartment after his murder turns up the fact that he was the Comedian. The plot kicks off from there. | |

In The Noob, the title character kills a rat and loots the body, finding a wallet containing some cash... and a letter and drawing from the rat's son. He is quite upset... until he levels up. | |

In the "Sin-Eater" story of Spider-Man, Spidey is checking out the home of his murdered friend, police captain Jean DeWolff, for clues and finds her collection of Spider-Man photos. He's quite cut up to realise that she apparently had something of a crush on him and this fuels his anger when he finds her murderer and comes this close to beating him to death. | |

In The Sandman (1989) arc Brief Lives, Bernie Capax's son realizes he didn't know his father at all when he discovers his stash of expensive art, drugs, weapons, and fake passports after his death. The reason for this is his father was 15,000 years old at his death, a fact he had kept hidden from his family. | |
