I'm for getting them away from your home, either burying them or leaving in the open.

However, there are several stories of old people just dying and nobody notices for years. So there are a lot of variables.

Better safe than sorry though. Go for disposal.
you have to be very careful disposing of the dead....they may have unknown diseases....if they're dead INSIDE the houses i'd shut the windows and batten over the doors and leave them there!
but if you shut them in with the diseases then you cant find if they have any useful stuff in the houses!!!

Bodies will dry out and decay or mumify after about 18 months and the rats / flies etc will finish off whats left so you can go salvaging after that.

you reckon they'll have some then? maybe 1 in a 1,000, i bet i've got more useful stuff than most people around here, going by the crap i see piled up in their garages!Big Grin
I dont no but if you cant get in to check then you will never know!!! im thinking more than anything places like chemists etc though

chemists arent likely to have piles of dead bodies in them though are they, i was talking about peoples houses, yes i shall be checking out business premises and the like.(already got my "resourses" map!)
i have it mapped out in my head and im hoping that there wont be many dead bodies in the places i want to check out!!!
Think I would rather stumble across the odd cadaver than a living person whilst salvaging from shops/houses
