It is curious that one of the survivors on the rescue helicopter with LF thought that she might have still been alive.

Smokingfrog, good point here:

If that’s the case (fuddy alive (albeit barely**)) when rescued, then there would be no need to have previously swapped her for a smuggled mannikin.

**See bottom two pix here (h/t rx), one where she’s upright, then other where she’s laying flat
