Well, judging by your name and accent, I'm assuming you're from the United Kingdom--lovely place, by the way, I've been there myself a few times--so yes I'd imagine the rules are different. We've got paperwork to make when a person is scheduled to die, we have to make a place for them in the afterlife, we have to get their soul before it becomes attached and bring it over to process, things like that.

--We're also not allowed to interfere in countries like yours, it doesn't fall under our jurisdiction.
