No Dead body is not redundant at all.
What are you going to use instead
"I found a dead beside the road"
Battery, Tree, Skunk, Human body? Can't tell from just "Dead"
"I found a body beside the road"
Auto body, Truck body, Camper body, Dead Human Body, Live Human Body (There is a road near Detroit, Edward Hines Drive, You can find a whole lot of live bodies alongside that road. Very scenic drive about this time of year)
No, You found a body, human is assumed, Live or dead has to be stated.
Injured or healthy are also options.. Most of those along E.H.D. are quite healthy I can assure you.

According to Wikipedia: "With regard to living things, a body is the physical body of an individual. "Body" often is used in connection with appearance, health issues and death."
I worked in the medical field....hopefully, the people I tended to were LIVE bodies.

Or "VIN NUMBER". Since VIN includes "number", "number" becomes redundant. And it is a "lead pipe cinch" you will hear them again.

When I am asked for my PIN Number I tell them it's 1.
The same for my VIN number...

I was kidding 
I was born in Great Falls, Mt. My parents moved when I was 5. I found them when I was 10 - they were in California.

Irregardless is my favorite word. It is a word that can be looked up in any unabridged dictionary, but most posers "think" it is not a word.
