Actually, I would agree. When the Police reach a crime scene, they have no idea what has happened. All they see before investigation is an injured bloke in a car and presumably a dead or dying bloke beside it.
A similar thing happened to me when my father died (I wasn't actually arrested though). I was told that because the death occurred outside a medical facility, the family were automatically placed under suspicion of causing the death. I was also told that this was just procedure.
