Ethical question

A recent news story brings up somewhat of an ethical question in my opinion. A body was found, supposedly being that of a mother who has been missing for weeks. It has been all over the news. Over the last 2 days since this body was discovered, the main question that news channels are headlining have been "Was the body found without a head?" What is this all about? I believe they are asking this question to grab the attention of viewers, when they should really be talking about other issues. They should address the issues of the family, the crime that was committed, and the suspects and overall situation. Why do we need to know if the body had a head or not?! I think news channels ask these questions because they think that people like gore or something...Or they just try to grasp our attention. This is messed up. Who wants to turn on the news and be forced to picture a body without a head in their minds? I'd rather know the families reaction to the crime and what they are doing to find the murderer of the woman.
