Closer to a post-mortem. They apparently do a threat assessment so this particular cause of death can be avoided in future - though standing in a group on the road is maybe not the brightest idea.
wow that's interesting I would love to read more about it if you have any links.

They were not exactly on the road pavement but on top of lower objects e.g. a couple of nearby fences and a couple of parked cars just next to where the other raven died.
From my son's favourite YouTube channel. These are American Ravens but probably similar to the Aussie variety behaviour wise.
You mean... a murder investigation?
It a sounds more like an occupational health and safety investigation, or am inquest.
I wouldn’t judge ravens too harshly. Insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan were notorious for booby-trapping bodies in order to take out first responders - so humans are clearly not impervious to making the same mistake.
