i think it's a little weird to assume that, as soon as life leaves a body, our emotions and sympathies that are tied up with the person that died are going to leave as well
i feel sorry for a dead person because i'm sure, if you'd asked them, they'd have probably said no they don't want to die.
feeling sorry for the dead isn't something that most people do because they think that the corpse is sad. they do it because the person that was alive no longer gets a chance to experience life.
that's how it seems to me, anyway
