Real life experience: While I was a radioman on a destroyer in Vietnam, we regularly did fire-support for the marines. In one instance they had two killed and one wounded, and asked us to transport them to Da Nang for proper disposal. For three days and two nights we had two body bags in one of our reefers. For hygenic reasons we took all the food out of that reefer and jammed it into the other one. I was serving my month as a mess cook (waiter and busboy) at that time. We never had to go near that reefer, but it was still spooky and creepy. I certainly wouldn't want uncooled bodies anywhere on my boat.
