1986); Lee v. State, 435 So.2d 674, 676 (Miss. 1983); Crum v. State, 349 So.2d 1059, 1062 (Miss. 1977). The "duty of a reviewing court is simply to ensure that . . . a `substantial basis for concluding' that probable cause existed" was evidenced.
In Mississippi, where the police officer determines that it is necessary to leave the scene of the search in order to examine the body at the hospital, a 25 to 30 minute delay is not unreasonable. In Crum v. State, 349 So.2d 1059 (Miss. 1977), this Court held: The opinion of the Supreme Court of Tennessee quoted from United States v. Rabinowitz, 339 U.S. 56, 70 S.Ct. 430, 434, 94 L.Ed. 653 (1950), where it was said:
We recognize that continuing warrantless searches pursuant to an original express consent to search can raise serious constitutional questions concerning the reasonableness of such a subsequent search and seizure. Compare, e.g. State v. Brochu, 237 A.2d 418 (Me. 1967); People v. Chism, 32 Mich. App. 610, 189 N.W.2d 435 (1971), aff'd, 390 Mich. 104, 211 N.W.2d 193 (1973) with, e.g., Gray v. State, 441 A.2d 209, 221-22 (Del. 1981); Ferguson v. Caldwell, 233 Ga. 887, 213 S.E.2d 855, 867 (1975); State v. Fredette, 411 A.2d 65 (Me. 1979); Crum v. State, 349 So.2d 1059 (Miss. 1977); Thompson v.McManus, 512 F.2d 769 (8th Cir. 1975). We also acknowledge that the constitutional standard that we apply in sustaining a search based upon a waiver of the warrant requirement by consent is exacting.
Finally, when search was resumed it was merely a continuation of the original search and hence could not be held to be unreasonable. See Crum v. State, 349 So.2d 1059 (Miss. 1977). See also, Voss v. State, 198 Tenn. 135, 278 S.W.2d 667 (1955), cert. den. 348 U.S. 965, 75 S.Ct. 526, 99 L.Ed. 752 (1955); State v. Downey, 104 Ariz. 375, 453 P.2d 521 (1969).
