| Summary | 0011399: Dead suspects confess to crimes | ||||
| Description | One of my dwarves was seen stealing an artefact. When I checked if it had left the map I found it in the hands of a visitor. I set the citizen to be interrogated and in the meantime had the visitor killed before he could leave. In due course my citizen implicated the now-dead visitor (whose corpse had unsurprisingly changed name). I wanted some resolution, and could mark the dead visitor to be interrogated so I did so. To my surprise the dead visitor confessed to the crime! Told me the whole story and gave a set of pseudonyms, including the one he had used in my fort. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | I haven't tried to reproduce but it should be pretty simple. -Have an artefact stolen. -Kill the suspect before interrogating them. -Interrogate them. Presumably with someone who is a persuasive interrogator. | ||||
| Additional Information | This seems closely related to issue 0011333 - animals and dead people can be interrogated. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Can confirm, I have had a dead man confess to crimes. I killed them before they were able to exfiltrate the artifact. Tried to take them alive, but alas, there's no order for that. |
|
|
This is still occurring in 47.05. Just killed a visiting mercenary who was marked for interrogation but already near the exit. Some time later I got an interrogation report of them confessing to the crime. |
|
|
Still a thing in 50.05. Any dead people are able to be interrogated. |
