How is this not quantitative research? It's counting pieces of information. All data analys comes from data. Quantitative research can't exist at all without it

  There's certainly a quantitative component. It's easy and often useful to add some such components to qualitative research. But getting into the field, tagging along with the death investigator, seeing the whole process from begining to end, that's qualitative. You're seeing much more than just all of the numeric data captured. I'm not saying quantitative research can exist without data, I'm not sure where you got that idea. But not all data is quantitative. Data that is non-numeric is qualitative data. A case-study, for example, is often qualitative, though incorporating plenty of numeric data in support.
