Purpose of a Heavy-Duty Body Bag

A body bag (also known as a disaster pouch or cadaver bag) is a specially designed, leak-proof, and durable container used for transporting and storing human remains. The heavy-duty versions used by UK forensic and crime scene units — typically black with a C-shaped or C-section zip — are designed to:

• Contain biological material (blood, fluids, tissue) safely.
• Prevent contamination of the surrounding environment.
• Allow discreet and respectful handling of the deceased.
• Withstand handling and movement in various conditions, including outdoor or disaster scenes.

Continuity of Evidence

In forensic work, continuity of evidence (sometimes called chain of custody) means that every item — including a body — must be traceable from the moment it’s discovered until it’s examined in court. This ensures evidence has not been tampered with, contaminated, or lost.

For body recovery, that means:

• The body is sealed in a bag immediately after documentation and photography at the scene.
• The bag is labeled with unique identifiers (case number, date, time, recovery officer’s name).
• A record is kept of every person who handles or transfers the bag.

This preserves both physical evidence (DNA, trace fibers, wounds) and legal integrity — allowing courts to trust that the findings are authentic and uncontaminated.
