It's utterly disgusting and morbid. Those people are whacked. In our shop in the navy there was an awful smell coming from somewhere, rotten. My weiner supervisor said it smelled like "rotting cardboard" or something. Anyway after a couple days I couldn't take it anymore and set out to find the source (cause we looked everywhere in the shop). Out back was a door that led into a boiler room of sorts and I clicked on the light, sure enough there was a little dead rat in the corner. The other side of the wall was our shop. That little rat was putting off some serious stench! I think I failed my save and started taking -2 to all saving rolls and skill checks.

I have lots of rat stories from the navy! Anyway a dead body is unimaginable to me. Those people were probably huffing paint, too.
