2 weeks after death, nothing from 1Life.Disgusting

My aunt passed away on the 16th of March and to this day, 1Life has been of no help. I have been going from pillar to post getting all the documents they require but still - NOTHING. They have received the Death Certificate and all details pertaining to her death but unfortunately since she passed away due to unnatural causes ( an accident at home while cooking, mind you ) I am the one who is calling the police station day in and day out trying to get ahold of the Investigating Officer ( I keep getting advised to try but noone's trying on their end ) so he can give them a Post Mortem Report and Body Identification Form. Even with a Notice of Death that clearly states the cause of death. I am very disappointed because in other words, 1Life expects my aunt to be lying in a mortuary ( which they don't even cover ) while we wait for forms that will not be telling them anything new.Each time I call, I am provided with new information and hurdles to jump through, I feel like I am being **** to in an effort to not get a payout. If I am not offered any resolution on this, I am going to the Ombudsman, surely this is not what I have been paying premiums for.
