They start taking unrelated conditions into consideration to find a fault that may have caused the death.
That may have been a bit hard to grasp and most of you may be thinking that a mathematical theory based on randomness is quite far fetched and absurd, what does if have to do with your live? If you think about it many of us put this theory into practice every day. Have you ever asked yourself, what if? What if I had left two minutes later or what if I had spoken up when I had the chance?
