Season 1, indirectly. Someone is burried as death person. The character gets ressurected later. There is no scene showing the character in the cascet.
There is also a claustrophobic scene where a person tries to kill themselved in a closed hot tub. They survive the suicide attempt.

A few.
One is episode 4 around 33:35 mark. No crash scene but you see the “skidding” and body outside the vehicle and you see an overview of the aftermath/bodies.
Episode 7 I assume you see the avoidance or running over a rabbit and you see a lot of aftermath in motion.

There are a few episodes where people are underwater and the possibilities there but there’s usually a rescue.
S3E5 Two men are shown dead, floating in water from obvious drowning.
No actual scenes of the process only the aftermath or the possibility.
