The possibility of dying while travelling always existed. One could get into a car accident, victim of crime, etc, so the question is:

**What happens when you die?**

Specifically, are there international treaties that establish a procedure to follow when a foreigner dies in a certain country? Now, I know that *International* treaties are rarely signed by all nations, so there will be exceptions but if there are common agreements and procedures, those are the ones I would like to know.

If there are any: **What do these treaties say?** Do they include following a will legally written in another country.

Are procedures depending on the country of death, citizenship, residence or combination of these? If there are no treaties covering death of a foreigner, then it is possible we have to ask what happens when an Afghan dies in Albania to a Zambian in Zimbabwe!
