Each "__" represents a single word in the solution, so the solution is 5 words in length.

The name of the puzzle is "Find The Body" so the solution is related to where specifically (beyond what's stated in the puzzle) the body was found.

The songs all are "depressing" songs and relate to two things: Driving and suicide.

Is there a drug theme to this killing? Lucy in the Sky is a reference to LSD and its effects. Drug references are made in other songs listed, too.

854 people agree that the solution can't be the river.. see definition number 3 of Purple Haze

3. purple haze
854 up, 140 down

Weed with purple hairs/leaves. Really good high. Peaceful high, different than most.

I was so excited to get some purple haze, i forgot to dump the body in the river.

Try to remember the lyrics to all these songs. What might they have in common?
If you're having trouble you might want to consider Google.
