"body bag" is a real word in English, so normally we might not call this a wasei.
But I think we should consider calling it wasei. 
The fact "body bag" exists with a different meaning in English is definitely coincidental. The people who came up with this word didn't take that two-word expression from English and altered the meaning of it; they composed it themselves using ボディ and バッグ
