corps is a French word meaning an organised group of trained men. The Latin word you want is 'corpse' which usually means the dead body of a human being, but can refer to any dead body

Both the English words corps (a body of troops) and corpse (a dead body) derive straight from Latin corpus - a body, a corpse, a corporation.
