According to court documents, it was in a "significant state of disrepair". The crash and subsequent investigation mostly destroyed the car, not to mention that it probably had a not insignificant amount of "biological material" on it.
I don't think it's shocking to have destroyed the car. It's not like there were any happy memories associated with that chassis (3x poles, 3x DNF including Imola). It would be morbid to keep it I would think.
They did of course keep the other FW16 chassis.
