DESCRIPTION
If proof of death, as defined in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this 
section cannot be furnished, a finding of fact of death, where death is 
otherwise shown by competent evidence, may be made by an official 
authorized to approve such findings. Where it is indicated that the 
veteran died under circumstances which precluded recovery or 
identification of the body, the fact of death should be established by 
the best evidence, which from the nature of the case must be supposed to 
exist.
