MORGAN, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the majority holding as to the first issue discussed and in the holding as to the second issue so far as the right of the original entry without a warrant and the admissibility of evidence in plain view at that time. However, I would save the question as to admissibility of the balance of the evidence for another time when it is properly before us. I would hold in that regard that defendant failed to properly raise the issue of scope of search before the trial court. State v. Halverson, 87 S.D. 110, 203 N.W.2d 421 (1973).
Michigan v. Tyler, 436 U.S. 499, 98 S.Ct. 1942, 56 L.Ed.2d 486 (1978) deals with an arson investigation and search for cause of a fire, not a murder, the cause of which was immediately apparent. Nor does Michigan v. Tyler, supra, grant an unlimited right of reentry but rather a very limited one which is not fully explained in the majority opinion.
