Corpse refers to a dead body, and especially to the dead body of a human. Corp is an abbreviation for “corporation” and “corporal.” Corp , corps , and corpse all trace back to the Latin word corpus , meaning “body.”

If you are talking about a dead person, you can use either corpse or body. Using "corpse" is a lot less ambiguous but also is more impersonal and potentially rude. For example if you were talking about a crime scene you probably wouldn't say "they found the victim's corpse" but instead "they found the victim's body".
