There's a pretty stark difference been "someone died in this spot" and them still being there for you to see. Most people don't react nearly as viscerally to hearing that someone died as they do to literally seeing a corpse.

Yeah, that's my point. That it's about the [lack of] burial rather than the actual death.

You do often see flowers put at the site of a death.
