Attendance at Deaths

According to the McCann family, detectives asked why a British-trained dog detected traces of a corpse on Mrs McCann’s clothing, a Bible in the apartment, and when it approached their hire car. Reports also claim that is discovered the scent on the vehicle’s key fob,and Madeleine's toy cat Mrs McCann, a former GP, has said she was present at six deaths before her holiday. Doctors are called to certify death on occasions. Typically This does not occur very often. The patient is an elderly person in a residential or nursing home. A doctor has to check for a heartbeat, respiration, and whether the pupils react when a pen torch is shone into the eyes. At least one doctor finds the claim that Mrs McCann attended six deaths, shortly before the her holiday, difficult to believe. People tend to die on hospital wards, and when a patient in a care home becomes unwell, they tend to get admitted to a hospital. Why the scent of death was on Mrs McCann’s Bible also raises suspicions. Are we supposed to believe she took this Bible with her when she was at work? This question of attendance would be easy to check against surgery records. Has anyone knowledge of this? Possibly not, as it may be one of the confidential facts known only to police (British and Portugese). If it is found a lie, then along with the publicly available evidence, I imagine the case for trial and likely conviction is sealed, and only political interference blocks progress to trial. Which makes me wonder what political opportunities could arise to clear the way. A change in British and Portuguese government may not in themselves precipitate an action by the Portuguese police. It would take some kind of political will. I private prosecution is unlikely, unless Amaral or the residents of the unfortunate resort town Praia de Luz in Portugal take one against the McCanns for damages first.
