How can I throw a body?

When I am silently clearing an area often I would like to throw a corpse into a hole, over a cliff or elsewhere to hide it.

Currently I can only drop the body, which causes the cadavre to roll off my back onto the floor.

Can I throw a body?

Solution 1:

You throw them the same way you shoot with your bow too.
When you carry a body just aim and throw.

On PC, this means that,

while carrying the body, hold right-click and left-click.
On Xbox,

hold LT and tap RT.
On Playstation 4,

L2 to aim, R2 to throw.
