Non-diver question: why are we risking people's lives to "rescue" dead bodies?

Question is pretty much on the title. I have never touched a regulator or gas tank in my life, so I am speaking out of absolute ignorance, but all this reminds me of the infamous Bushman's Hole accident where Dave Shaw died to retrieve a body.

The people who went in there knew the risks. And besides, why is everyone using the word "rescue" as if they were alive?
