[Sherlock Holmes] How is Sherlock allowed to examine bodies?

If he isn’t in law enforcement or a family member of the deceased, how is Sherlock Holmes able to observe dead bodies to make his deductions?

Hes a well known detective asked by the police to aid in investigations or brought in by local lords and ladies. It's not an official chain of custody since those procedures were fairly rare in Victorian England and a lords permission or the constables was enough to give him access.

And if you're talking about newer more modern versions of holmes it's because he knows people at the morgue and coroners. For a few bucks they let him examine the bodies or simply because they know he can see things detectives may miss.
