The way Nere is killed can lead to his head being impossible to retrieve. It seems that elemental damage like fire might render the body unrecognisable.

Spaw names the party Life-Chanter and thanks them for their service. If the party is flattering to Glut, it says the Circle sings to them its truth. Their voice is forever welcome in its harmonies so long as they remember that it is the song of Glut. | Return to Ebonlake Grotto and speak to the Sovereign.
