Why is this information relevant to the information released to the general public? 

Relevant to the overall investigation, yes,  .  relevance in informing the general public ? 

I often get coconuts and dead bodies mixed up. RIP underpant man. 

Not meant as a flame or a putdown, But..... I always wonder why it's "a dead body" ? Aren't all "deceased humans" classified as just a BODY. ? Quoting dead body to me is similar to saying a live person.

"Body" is more sensitive than quoting a corpse.?

the word body can be used in many ways including 'Live Body', 'Body of People' (ie a group of people), 'Body of Evidence. The use of 'body' as meaning 'dead body' is a colloquialism body should always have a qualifier in good English grammar.

Lucky the report said "in a lagoon" and not "in a body of water."     

 

A deceased male was today found laying face down in a lagoon by a woman looking for shells. 

 

There that should sort it.

Deceased body, dead body, corpse, male decedent, female decedent etc...They are all proper ways to write about a body found that is no longer with us in a status of being alive.  Was it a decomposing, or rotting body with the flesh falling off the bones or the skin sloughing off. Was it a decaying body that was odiferous?  I mean everything I have written is what is used when in LE we would write the coroners report. 

hmm ...43 yrs old,  did someone not pay their dues.  Just saying.   RIP
