Continuity mistake: When Amanda and Daniel entered the bathroom from 'Saw', Adam's body is shown with his right leg shackled. However, in 'Saw' and in Adam's death flashback in 'Saw III', his left leg is shackled. (01:14:10)
Visible crew/equipment: Crew is reflected in one of the large white SWAT vans which pulls up outside Wilson Steel factory. (00:10:50)
Continuity mistake: After Amanda falls into the pit of syringes and is dragged out by Eric's son, she is covered in blood from being stabbed with many syringes, but in every scene after that she has no blood stains on her skin or clothes. (00:52:25)
Trivia: In the room with the razor blade box, if you look at the top of the frame, you can see a lock with a key in it. If the actress walked a few feet further, she could've unlocked the box and gotten the syringe. Obviously this would've defeated the purpose of her dying, but interesting to point out. Confirmed in DVD special features. (01:06:00)
Continuity mistake: When Amanda is thrown into the pit of needles, in some shots there is only one, while in others, there are two or more stuck in her back. Also, in some shots the needles are pointed at an angle, whereas in others, they are pointed almost straight up. (Uncut Edition) (00:51:20)
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene, the helmet closes on the guy's head. Inside there are spikes on all sides, but when his head falls to the ground the blood only comes out the bottom. The spikes should have also gone into the other side of his head and blood should have run down his face to the floor. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When Matthews' friend is watching the puppet on TV at the beginning of the movie, the channel indicator on the television keeps changing from displaying channel 3 in one shot to being covered up with duct tape in the next. (00:01:50)
Continuity mistake: When Emmanuelle Vaugier walks into the room with the clear box trap hanging from the ceiling, in the middle of the two hand openings is a syringe with the antidote. It is filled with significantly more in the close up shots, than there is in the full shots which show a lot less in the syringe. (01:06:00)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene when the informant is about to cut into his eye they show a close up of the knife just centimeters away from his eye ball. There is minimal blood only in his eye but nowhere else, where in the cut before it the whole area around the eye is covered in blood. (00:03:30)
Continuity mistake: In the very beginning of Saw 2 when the informant awakes and realizes where he is and suddenly gets up from the chair there is a brief shot of him from the rear. If you look closely the leather waistband for the trap is completely loose, but when the camera quickly switches to his front, it shows the leather waist band tight around his waist. (00:01:20)
Revealing mistake: When Amanda is slowly getting up right after being thrown into the needle pit, if you watch very closely, in one or two quick shots you can see a small pad on the actress' back used to hold the needles in place. Slow motion helps, but is NOT required. (Seen in Uncut version, though it may be in the theatrical version as well.) (00:51:10)
Continuity mistake: When we see the envelope with Obi's name on it, the position of the knife through the envelope changes three or four times. At one point it is by the "b" in Obi and in another it's above the "o". (00:34:25)
Continuity mistake: After Xavier kills Jonas with the spiked baseball bat, we see Amanda, Daniel, Addison and Laura in a hallway. Laura collapses to the ground due to the nerve gas that they've all been inhaling. Between shots her left arm moves from her stomach to across her right shoulder. (01:02:00)
Continuity mistake: Eric sits down after finds out who is in the game with Daniel. When he does, the walkie-talkie on the desk simply disappears between different shots. (00:56:40)
Continuity mistake: When the people spot the envelope with Obi's name on it, the blade of the knife holding the envelope changes angle between shots. It goes from vertical to horizontal. (00:34:15)
Continuity mistake: When we see the SWAT team aim their lasers on Jigsaw, we see several dots. A few officers move and 2 remain. However we still see 5 or 6 dots. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: In the office when Detective Matthews and Kerry are arguing, Matthews' gun keeps changing position on the desk with no-one touching it. (00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Eric Mathews goes to confront Jigsaw (after he first looks at the monitors), the chain of his badge gets twisted when he gets held back, but as he's about to leave the chain appears, untwisted. But when he gets back to the monitors, his chain is twisted only to be untwisted by him a few seconds later. (00:16:30)
Answer: Perhaps someone in the vicinity smelled the bodies and called the police. Each of the victims shown on screen appears to have been dead for at least a few days.

Lawrence didn't also die, as he was shown to have survived in Saw 3D. I'm assuming you are talking about Zep.
