I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. My dead sims are actually dead, but there are no nearby items to investigate. For instance, I was sent to The Waterfront in Evergreen Harbor, and the dead sim was at the front of the lot, far away from the building, leaving no nearby items. The time before that I was sent to a random public lot, I don't even know where, with nothing but the dead sims, two witnesses and no interactable objects on the lot at all. I have learned to save the game before leaving for a reaping, so as to reload and try again. I didn't have any Reaper career issues at all before the update, which is why I made sure to mention it.
