The opinion
Harsha, Judge,
concurring.
{¶ 40} I agree with the analysis of the principal opinion but note that because the corpus delicti rule is foundational in character, the rules of evidence are generally not applicable in the admissibility analysis. See In re W.B. II, Highland App. No. 08CA18, 2009-Ohio-1707 , 2009 WL 961500 , at ¶ 32. Accordingly, both the trial court and this court can consider hearsay, if it is deemed rehable, in deciding whether the appellant’s confession is admissible.
