10-7 round here.

603 for Worcester, MA Police

44 for CT State Police

Pick a random 10-code for the Northern RI Police Departments.

Simple term unattended for most local Police Departments in my area.

In the tri-county area 10-7 is a catch all. Everything from "my pen is 10-7" to "my unit is 10-7", including animals and humans.
10-36 Murder
10-45 Animal Carcass
10-50 (F) Accident with Fatality
10-57 (F) Hit & Run with Fatality
10-60 Notify Coroner
Signal 7 (S) Suicide (A) Attempted
Signal 8 Natural Death
Signal 37 Funeral Escort
Signal 53 Dead Body

Dallas TX and many surrounding agencies use "Signal 27", which is often abbreviated as just "27".

New Hampshire (state wide):

Death: 10-54 (S = suicide, A = Accidental, N = Natural, D = Drowning)

Also heard as "subject threatening 10-54S"...

As described for other departments, the code for "out of service" is often used as in "We have two subjects who are 10-2", though this usage is most often heard with regards to animals ("a 10-2 deer in the road...")

LE agencies in San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area, CA use "10-55" or "DOA."

[Devilz311]

Ocean County, NJ uses 10-29 for a DOA. 10-88 is CPR in progress... Jokingly, some officers say 10-7 (off the record... 10-7 is used for out of service/off duty)
