Change law to mean that if an adult discovers a dead body it must be reported

At the moment, if a person finds the body of someone deceased, they are under no obligation to report this to the police. This means a body could be left for days, weeks etc. and remain undiscovered.

I think this should already be law, and even if it’s in a home environment this does not need to be reported as per the law right now.
