.. telling other passengers there was a corpse on board as people freak out.
Perhaps if you'd chosen a word other than 'throw' to describe moving a body people would take your statement more at face value? There are plenty of other words to choose from - place, put, lift, maneuver, ease....
Also - corpse? Hmm. Human remains is just as useful a description. Or even 'coffin in the hold'. Its fairly common for scheduled airlines to transport in the hold without anyone batting an eyelid - or the airline asking pax not to mention it. I guess the only time it really stands out is when there is a giant US flag on top of the coffin.
