Do we look different when dead, there is always a need for identification?

You see it in TV 📺 dramas, it seems to be an integral aspect of the story plot.

Depending how we die, yes we can look different, all our muscles completely relax and faces can change shape, then there is timeline, as blood and fluids drain out of top of body or into them if angled down.
There is also the legal requirement to 100% get the body identified, as people have been wrongly identified before, either accidentally or by fraudulent means to make people believe they are dead.
