Gold.

Let the bodies just rot. Will likely improve the general odor.

Remember this video posted here a while back?
Four men struck by lightning while standing under tree

Well....

They all lived.
India Today

quote:

For anyone who watches the video, it would seem impossible for the men to have survived. Fortunately, all four victims were rushed to a private hospital in time and are being treated for burns.
The incident took place at Vatika Signature Villas in Gurugram Sector 82 in Haryana on Friday afternoon.
In order to avoid the rain, the four horticulture staffers employed at Vatika Signature Villas decided to take shelter under a tree. Little did they know that a thunderbolt would land at their feet.
A video of the incident shows the exact moment lightning struck the tree. The four men can be seen falling down to the ground in an instant.

Much easier targets in a wildly overpopulated country.
