The 5/1/13 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation titled "Fearless" begins with the retrieval of a body from a spa mud pit.
Containers of water are troublesome enough. A body in a lake, or pond, or swimming pool, or creek can really wreck havoc with the preservation of the evidence and/or the body.
But my oh my you add heat to the mixture and you have a literal soup of mess. Nothing is like having a body deceased in a Jacuzzi and I imagine a mud bath is probably just as bad.
You do siphon out the fluid and sift through the debris to see what you have like they did in the show. If there is a drain of any sort then you must retrieve what has gone into the drain. You need to also check any filters.
I knew of a case where an older gentleman was taking a bath and had a heart attack. His wife suffered the same fate as she attempted to pull him out of the tub and fell into the bath water with her husband.
They were discovered several days later when the responding officer went through the bathroom window on a 'check on the welfare of' call and fell right on top of both of them. You know, the mud bath doesn't really seem so bad on second thought.
