I find it very strange that some people use the word "body" or "it" about someone who died. To me it's obvious that each individual keeps his/her identity even though they are dead. As it is I'm not blind to the possibility that this way of dehumanizing someone by changing the way they are described is a way of protecting oneself from the knowledge of one's own mortality. However, some, like e.g. Shayanna Sims, who took it upon herself to "teach the corpse of her husband's ex-girlfriend a lesson", clearly didn't see death as a safe haven for the deceased: The dead woman wasn't protected against her desires for revenge even in her casket at the funeral home.
The beautiful Tabatha Lynch (to the right) had died of natural causes in 2015 at the age of 38, and Shayanna Sims hated her for (presumably) having an affair with her (ex-)husband, Montie Smith. They had been lovers in their teens before Montie Smith, even met her and he denied the allegations of the affair. Still, Shayanna Sims, went on a revenge spree, slashing the corpse, cutting her hair off, removing body parts and stealing her jewelry after cheating her way into her home. Dead or alive, she was "the enemy"!
