Offensive insensitive AP article wording

A race car driver dies, they report a few sentences who he is and when it happens, and end the article with:

snip

Racing continued after the crash was cleaned up.

I mean, could they have taken one minute to write a more sensitive closing sentence? I'm no literary genius but I have a heart and would have written, "Racing continued after Mr. .....'s body was removed from the scene and the wreckage was cleared." Gosh, this man deserves better than that.

What is this world coming to?
Condolences to his family.
