The price doesn't really matter... I wouldn't want to have a dead body slumping onto me no matter what price I'd paid. Hell, I fly economy only (welcome to call centre wages) and I'd still be upset if I had to share my limited space with a dead person.

Why couldn't they have put the body somewhere more discreet? There would have been an extra toilet, I presume, even if there wasn't a sleeping area for staff... one toilet for the first class passengers and one for cattle class. Why not put the body in one of the spare toilets? As inhuman as it sounds, it's surely more dignified for all concerned.Perhaps she could have been laid on the floor in a spare row?
