What if Michael wanted to use a dead body to make it look more real? This is also a movie, right? Even if the DA, judge, prosecutors are all in on it which I believe that they are, maybe the intention to use a dead body is not to give them a real body to deceive them but to take these pictures and to give them something to do the autopsy for real. They were going to have a body to show for the ones who are not in on the hoax and maybe it is easier to talk about a real body instead of talking hypothetically. I'm just thinking about it, and it can sound way off but still ... suspicious//
