Do they always have to pose with the body?

Do they always have to pose with the body?

Back in my civilized first world home country you would be paid an amount of money, recovering a water corpse; so, maybe yes, they have to "pose" with the deceased to stake out a claim... you know, these people/organisations need money to keep working. It's also a good evidence that there was no foul play involved.
