Go to the 'U'nits list, then scroll down to deceased creatures. Struck dwarf should be among them.

There's no way to zoom to dead creatures... Come to think of it... you better should search for the creature that killed dwarf, then zoom to it instead. It probably shouldn't be far from the dwarf corpse.

Hope it helps (at least it worked fine for me)!

You can find corpses at the bottom of the stocks list, and can zoom to them from there as long as your bookkeeper has achieved enough precision.

Thank you, I eventually found the body. For some reason it only apeared after I killed the killer.
