Strange encounters on the trails

So the Yarra trails I ride often throw up a few surprises. They’re basically shared and really close to the city so some days it’s like every freak is out.
Today I was hanging it out on one of the dh lines the kids build off Wurundjeri Spur, not a section you’d expect to find anyone not on a mtb, and spotted police tape across the trail. I go around the tape slowly and the 1 officer I initially saw becomes 3, then 6, maybe 10 total. Not mucking around. One approached me, very somber, so I asked if everyone was ok, thinking maybe one of the kids had binned it badly. He confirmed no one had been injured riding fortunately.
He then suggested purposefully that I do not look over that side of the trail as someone is deceased, and inferring I’m unlikely to be able to stomach what I get an eyeful of. Got the hell out of there.
I’ve seen plenty of odd shit around my local over the years but, geez
