Perhaps because by getting rid of his body they avoid the possibility of it (or its burial place) to be worshipped by followers (or even a tourist attraction...)

Yet, the fact that there is no visual evidence of his dead seems to me a little suspicious.

Terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday, May 1, 2011 (in Pakistani time, the killing happened around 2 a.m. on Monday, May 2, 2011). Osama was killed by US troops on the ground in a 40-minute firefight commanded by President Obama. He was killed by a group of Navy SEALs (part of the Joint Special Operations Command - JSOC) and four men, including Osama, died in the attack. A woman, presumed to be one of Osama's wives, as also killed. No American was wounded or killed. Osama was shot at least once in the head. He was later buried at in the North Arabian sea.

Why is Osama bin Laden important?

Bin Laden was killed by the US because he orchestrated the September 11 attacks on the USA and because he is the leader of Al-Qaeda Bin Laden was considered responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11 2001. The US has made it their mission to find Bin Laden and bring him in. Taunting and evading US forces for 10 years is a pretty significant achievement for Bin Laden, so when the US finally found him, they were taking no chances. After 10 years most of the useful information Bin Laden might have had was worthless, so they didn't need him alive, and the gunfight in his compound meant that he wasn't going to come out peacefully. In order to avoid further insult to Bin Laden supporters, the US is trying to downplay the killing of Bin Laden by not releasing pictures of him, and by disposing of his body at the bottom of the Arabian Sea where no one will find it.
