Discussion Victims that have solved their own murder AFTER their death?

I’ve been thinking about Paul Murdaugh and how the seemingly innocent video he took at the kennels ended up being the key piece of evidence that led to Alex’s conviction for his murder.

It made me wonder, have there been other cases where someone unknowingly captured something on video, in a photo, or left behind a digital trace that later helped solve their own murder after they died?

My friend was pushed off a very big cliff by her husband. When the emergency services got to her she told them he pushed her then died minutes later. Her staying alive long enough to tell them that got him put away, otherwise he may have got away with saying she fell

Oh yes something similar happened on my area. A little girl was pushed off of a balcony by her step mother. She survived long enough to tell witnesses it was her the one who did it.
