You could use dfhack to spawn magma in the water or if the ghost is bothering you you can just make a memorial slab

If you're using DFhack you can just "autodump" the corpse onto dry land and chalk it up to the dwarves learning how to use spears/hooks to fish things out of a river.

Hrm. Well, I went on a test fort to try out making an 'atom smasher' as practice before I do it for real in the fort where I'm trying to retrieve the body, and...I can't seem to get the 'atom smasher' to work. I build the drawbridge over flat ground aboveground (it was something like 5x5) and linked it to a lever. I put refuse there, I put a live dog and dorf on the space, both when the drawbridge was raised and lowered, and every time, the only thing that happened was that all and sundry got knocked to the edge of the drawbridge and did not erase from existence. In the case of the live dog and dorf, they were merely stunned and had no lasting injury, and that was with the drawbridge repeatedly raising and lowering with them in the same space.

You did remember to make it a raising bridge, didn't you?  The game makes retracting bridges by default.
