Dead men tell no tales?

On the local Albuquerque news tonight the newscaster said:
"Police are currently investigating the discovery of a body near the intersection of ____ and ____.
We do not yet know if the dead person is a man or a woman, according to the victim."
So ...... the dead person isn't telling?

according to the victim's body?

In other words, the body was too badly decomposed to tell...

Otherwise, yes, the dead person isn't talking.
