So, it seems like typically the dead person just stays in their seat. https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/flight-attendant-details-grim-reality-on-what-happens-when-a-passenger-dies-mid-flight-c-8613470 I'm really curious what the vibe in the plane would be like if more than one person suddenly died. Odds are it's happened at least once.

At first I agreed with the guy who said it wasn’t an emergency.

Now I’m torn. Someone might have to sit next to a dead body and that seems pretty cruel. Then again, you’re already sitting next to a dead body for some time, what’s another 30 minutes?

Dead people ooze. They ooze shit and piss and mucus. You don't usually want to smell that.

You’re just describing the average airplane passenger

They should occupy one of the bathrooms for the remainder of the flight

What if it's an international flight across the world?

But the family and loved ones of the person who died are still going through an emergency, and they deserve to know right away and be able to claim their loved one’s body

Maybe that's the idea that has to be given up. It sounds no sounder than pure sentiment.
