The crime scene — the body, the blood, and the caution-tape cordon — was cleared from the world on 20 July 2026, and the Constable left with it. He can no longer be found or spoken to in-game. A granite tombstone now stands on the merchant's old tile; clicking it opens an "In Memoriam" popup for '''The Traveling Merchant, May 22, 2026 — Jul 18, 2026'''.
