sherlock would’ve been able to check if moriarty was dead or not

he’s been capable to deduce many cadavers within each series

the only problem is the fact he didn’t have time on his side

if he even dare stalled then the ones he loved would’ve been killed

so sherlock could only assume the worse

he always believed moriarty was some sort monster that never cared about living or dying as well

because in truth moriarty doesn’t give a fuck about living

ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive, staying alive

so when seeing him shoot his self in the head he’s going to automatically jump to the conclusion that he’s dead

but you must also remember that sometimes sherlock is wrong

he was wrong about the key code, the sugar causing hallucinations, the appledore vaults
