My dad was a hardware/software designer for Honeywell. He committed suicide in 2013. I am sure he used a forum like this, if not this one, to research and discuss his plans. Probably for at least 2 weeks. He was a pretty smart guy.
When the cops came to the house to pick up his body they took with them:
My dad
His inert gas bottle, tubing, bag
The took my parents laundry hamper and contents
Even though he had a home office with a computer they didn't take it or even look at it.
What he did do was to delete all of his programs and files, then wipe his computer using a DoD algorythim using the highest number of passes on the hard drive. He then reloaded his financial software and restored that data.
Phones I don't know as I don't use my phone for this purpose and I've heard that even doing a factory reset doesn't get rid of all of your information.
Plus he broke the law by committing suicide, as it is illegal in the USA. What were the cops going to do? Arrest him?
No they weren't concerned with his computer, just his dirty clothes.
