So, it appears that his dead body is a she. I haven't noticed this kind of thing before in Hebrew...is this normal?

Yeah it's normal. The noun is feminine and the possessive suffix is masculine.
Like 'his land'

Perfectly normal in Hebrew. You should learn the language; it's well worth the effort!

I guess that makes sense...roh'sh is masculine and the head marries the body.
