* In ''Literature/WhereAreTheChildren'', Nancy had to identify her murdered children's bodies once they were finally found. This is an awful situation for any parent, but the state of the children's bodies made it even worse; they'd been in the water for two weeks at this point, so the bodies were horribly bloated and Lisa's body was mutilated from shark bites. Unsurprisingly, Nancy still gets nightmares about it seven years later.

[[spoiler:In both cases, a key part of the solution lies in the fact that the original identification of the body was wrong.]]
* In ''Literature/TheProblemOfSusan'', the elderly professor recalls having to go to the school where her relatives, victims of a terrible train collision, were taken after death, to identify them, and says Susan of the Narnia books must have gone something similar as well.
