No it doesn't. It is standard procedure with an incident with loss of life. Similar rules pertain in the USA where the FBI will attend a crash site making it a criminal investigation. There is no presumption at the start that any crime has occurred. The probability of a crime only gets raised when evidence exists to support that assumption.
