Style guidelines?

Is anybody aware of any style guidelines that address the issue of writing about death and human remains? Specifically, I'm writing about an aircraft crash where contemporary newspaper reports of the recovery of victims describe the recovery of "scattered chunks of human flesh" and other fairly graphic descriptions. While the state of the victims is important in describing the difficulty of recovering and identifying the remains of victims, I'm looking for whether discussions have taken place here on the balance between sensationalist descriptions from news reports and encyclopedic coverage of the state of the victims. Especially descriptive terms like "bloody chunks of tissue", "mangled pulp", and so on. Especially in an article that extensively discusses the process of recovery, removal, and identification of the victims of a high-altitude explosion of an aircraft, there's only a limited number of times you can refer to "human remains" before the prose gets excessively repetitive.
