You magically determine a creature’s cause of death. Upon casting the spell, you learn the following pieces of information.
Cause of Death. You learn the last damage type that killed them, and where it affected them is revealed to you. If they were killed with a weapon or spell attack, you identify the area of impact and the nature of the wound, though this does not reveal the exact weapon or spell used. If they suffered an internal injury, you learn which organs was first affected. For example, if they ingested poison, you learn that they were killed by poison damage originating in the stomach.
Nature of Death. You learn basic details about their last moments, at the DM’s discretion. The spell might indicate a struggle, or that the creature was unaware that they were about to die.
Time of Death: You learn the approximate time that the creature expired. The more recent the death, the more accurate the result. If they died in the last 24 hours, you learn the exact hour. If they died within the last week, you learn the exact day. If they died over a week ago, you learn roughly how many weeks it has been, and beyond a year you learn roughly how many years it has been.
