When inspecting the dead body of the scavenger in SGS mortuary, at least one of the info texts refer to the deceased as a "he", even if the scavenger is a woman.
Also related, you can talk to the SGS guard at the entrance to mushroom cove about the dead scavenger, but ONLY if you select the dialogue option first. If you start by asking about Newton/mushroom cove in general, then the option to ask about the dead scavenger is lost.
