How do you contact the UK authorities?

[CinerateX]

Heya friends,

I wanted to ask if anybody had a decent way to contact the authorities after death? My family will be out on holiday and I don't want extended family to find me a day or more later. That sounds horrible for them. How would I schedule a contact to a service in the UK to let them know that there's a dead body at my house?

I saw a thread about scheduling an email to my county police HQ, but I can't seem to find an email for them? I've found an email that seems to get checked daily for my local hospital that handles information and document requests, which is my best bet so far. But, it's not too great.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

I don't think there is a way. You'll end up getting a welfare visit if you email the police, and they don't tend to have open inboxes.

Oh right, apologies, I should have made it more clear. I plan to schedule an email to send after I'm hypothetically dead. Like, the next morning or something. So I'll get a welfare check, and be found vacant.

Sorry, that's my fault - I'm intox atm so didn't fully understand what you said. You made it clear enough.

Most police forces won't have open email addresses listed to the public. The only thing I think of is calling up your local force and asking to ask to report intel, specifically stating that it isn't a crime or they'd likely direct you to the online crime report page. I guess asking for an email to send the intel to could work.

There's delayed email sending services on the Internet. Set an email up to alert someone at your chosen date. Just don't forget about it.

Ah no worries, that could work actually. Call them just to get the ball rolling, thank you! Asking for an email might also work too, thank you, friend!

Oh yeah, Gmail has it too, I think. My only issue is finding someone to send it too. I don't want it to be family, so just trying to figure out who.

I don't sadly. No one that I'd want to, at least. Family and friends would rush over I think.
