Overreaching
Not necessarily.
First, an accidental death would not involve a massive clean up requiring time. A child that aspirates on vomit or has a head injury (closed wound) would not create a labor-intensive "crime scene" clean up. Small traces of blood, vomit, or other body fluids might be overlooked simply because the room was fairly clean at time of death, to begin with.
Secondly, to bundle a small body into some kind of container or simply carry a child who appeared to be sleeping out of a room would not involve lengthy any time whatsoever. Numerous reports are that the resort town had multiple places where a body could be hidden in minutes--the beach, the excavated area around the church, the reservoir.
We are not talking about a densely populated area here, but a rural part of the country with small resort towns dotting the coast.
Half hour, maybe a full hour, but under an hour certainly possible to dispose of a body. Less if a body is simply put into the trunk of a car that is not going to be searched.
Remember--doctors are used to making split second decisions. (It's what saves our lives most of the time.) To think of a plan and carry out in the most limited time possible is entirely probable with people used to acting immediately on a planned course of action.
Possible? Absolutely. Probably? That's up to personal opinion.
