According to the Rules of Handling Cases of Death and Death, for cases in which the identity of the deceased has not been confirmed, the bereaved family raises objections to the results of the investigation, and cases that are deemed necessary for deliberation, the chief of the police must hold a deliberation committee to decide whether to conduct a reinforcement investigation or end the investigation. .
