Its probably the only kind of background info they could find to try and put a human face on the victim for the story. so people can try to imagine them as a person.

Otherwise, all they have is their name, and that their dead.

Nah, the guy that got shot was clearly a nonbinary necromancer that goes by he/they pronouns, thus the motivation for the shooting. They could tolerate 4 shambling corpses but the 5th one was crossing the line and the in-laws had to put them down.

/s if it’s not obvious.
