This is not ''quite'' [[Never Found the Body]]--it's found, all right. More specifically, bits and pieces are found. Usually refers to a very violent death, as either only a few measly fragments of a body is found, or it's been so destroyed you need a mop to clean it up and a bucket (not a body bag) to carry it in.

Line 30:

* On ''[[NCIS]]'' three American soldiers in Afghanistan were blown up by a bomb and only pieces of their bodies were recovered. As they were shipped back to the States to be officially identified, the plane that was carrying them crashed, damaging the remains to the point where most ways of identifying them would be useless. {{spoiler|The remains turn out to be those of only two of the soldiers since the third was instead captured by terrorists and held captive}}

* ''[[NYPD Blue]]'': the Medavoy subplot of one episode involved a Hasidic Jewish girl who had been killed and butchered and partially eaten by animals, leaving not much body left. At the end of the episode after they caught the guy that did it, Medavoy gave the girl's father some crime scene dirt which had some of her blood in it; in the Hassidem(sp) circle you have to bury the ''whole'' body, and Medavoy wanted to give the father as much of the remains as there were available.

* In the first episode of ''[[~~Torchwood (TV)|~~Torchwood]]: Children of Earth'', the villains blow up Jack with a bomb inside his stomach. In the next episode, they only find small pieces of his body remaining, from which he [[From a Single Cell|still manages to regenerate]].

* ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]''--very often, and [[Played for Laughs]]

* In ''[[~~Beast Wars (Animation)|~~Beast Wars]]'', when Dinobot makes his stand against the Predacons and calls for Maximal backup, Rattrap half-jokes: "Dinobot versus six Preds ... there won't be enough of him left to make a ''toaster!''" They do actually find Dinobot in one piece, though the damage he took is still fatal.

* This was sometimes what happened to [[Posthumous Character|Manfredi and Johnson]], [[Those Two Guys]] often mentioned on ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' (although they never die the same way twice). On one ocassion they were eaten by flying piranha and what was left was buried with a teaspoon. In another, their remains fit on a manila envelope.
