I can't believe that it is SOP to call that you have a body on board. This was never ever done when I was a SAR pilot it was SOP to call 4 crew and X casualties.
This was for 2 reasons - firstly we were not qualified to certify someone as dead and secondly for the reasons outlined before - lots of ears listening that may have knowledge of who we were looking for and we didn't want to cause undue distress.
Imagine if you were looking for 3 hill walkers and you radioed back 2 casualties and 1 body - families listening on scanners and worrying if it was "their" body. So NEVER say you have a body on board.
On a lighter note we used to drop ashes for people who had military connections. Our call then would be 5 sob gradually becoming 4!
