How is this different from a crime committed anywhere else? If my friends and I push another friend off a balcony, we could say he tripped.

Yes, but the scene of crime in this case is still available for the police to look at, and the dead body doesn't go anywhere.

The position of the body can in most cases show if the victim tripped or was pushed. Tampering with the body after the fall leaves even more clues for the police to find.

Tampering with the body - unless it is really, really obvious that he's dead, somebody is going to check the body and most likely even try first aid.
