Unfortunately I've heard the term souls and persons used together.
An RAF Herc was repatriating the bodies of a downed RN Heli, I asked for his POB and he replied " 7 persons, 11 souls"

I was informed by an older and wiser controller that this was information for us and the firecrews in case of a further accident.
