An unfortunate inversion of events

We see that Hazel Parry indeed hits it in the nail with her wording. Re: this in The Independent:

1. A British tourist who has
been missing for five days in Hong Kong
is suspected to have been murdered after being found
dead.

----

There seems to be a clash with Grice's

--- be orderly (how can you be murdered AND NOT dead?)
--- be brief.

It may be argued that "after being found dead" is otiose (and redundant) and that 1 should read:

2. Jack Smith (for brevity) is suspected to have
been murdered.

But as McEvoy notes:

"A person can be suspected of being murdered although they have not been found dead [Jimmy Hoffa]. So this is not redundant 'by implicature'. It might follow a previous headline, 'Brit Tourist missing', and confirms they have been found, albeit not in the rudest of health. Donal McEvoy, Supporting his local sheriff, Grammar Community Support Officer, Ldn."

The unfortunate 'inversion of events', then, as noted ironically by Hazel Parry, seems to be due (via implicature) to a dangling 'after'.

There is this (possibly unwanted) 'implicature' that Smith was murdered AFTER BEING FOUND DEAD. But this cannot be. It should be an 'unfortunate inversion of events'. So, the idea is that the writer in the Independent could have imported the 'after' clause or an equivalent one, to some place earlier in the clause. Or not.

Variants:

1. A British tourist who has been missing for five days in Hong Kong is suspected to have been murdered after being found dead.

--- impeccable for McEvoy

briefer:

2. A British tourist who has been missing for five days in Hong Kong is suspected to have been murdered.

----- Unwanted implicature: But was he found dead? (Note McEvoy above)

3. After being found dead, a British tourist who had been missing for five days in Hong Kong is suspected to have been murdered.

etc. sounds clumsier.

What about replacing 'after' by 'before'?

4. A British tourist who has been missing for five days in Hong Kong is suspected to have been murdered BEFORE being found dead.

Sounds neat enough.
