Order of events

1-The murdered woman was collecting signatures.

2-The injured woman was collecting signatures.

In "1" we can be sure that she was murdered after or while collecting signatures. But in "2" we don't know whether she was injured before, while or after collecting signatures. Is that correct?

Of course. It is a matter of logic, not grammar. The dead man wrote a book / The sick man wrote a book.
