N.C.P.I.—Crim. 230.80
CONCEALMENT OF DEATH. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with concealment of the death of
a person.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [failed to notify a law enforcement
authority of a death of a person] [secretly buried a dead human body]
[secretly disposed of a dead human body].1
And Second, the defendant intended to conceal the death of a
person.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant intended to conceal the death of a
person, and that the defendant [failed to notify a law enforcement
authority of the death of a person] [secretly buried a dead human body]
[secretly disposed of a dead human body], it would be your duty to return
a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to
one or both of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of
not guilty.
