Here's s46 of the Criminal Code of Canada:
(1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,
(a) kills or attempts to kill Her Majesty, or does her any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maims or wounds her, or imprisons or restrains her
So, what's the difference between these two terms? (I'm not a native English speaker.)
Basically destruction of the body means damaging the particular organs of the body. For example, if a person is shot straight to his heart, he will die immediately and it will be regarded as death. On the other hand, if the same person gets struck by a car, it will damage the organs of his body and they may not function properly. The damaging of the human organs which don’t cause of death is regarded as the destruction of the human body.
