How are they supposed to get into the hold whilst in flight?
Just ask the nearest jihadi if they can borrow his dynamite and blast their way in ?

"A problem as frequent as this, and as potentially PR-negative as this, calls for design changes in the airplane itself. "
The only reason this is a "PR-negative" is that people have no stomach (or spine) anymore. The woman was dead. She probably smelled better than half the fat people I've been forced to sit next to on airplanes.
People are just looking for an excuse to play "victim" to try to get something out of the airline for free. They should have told the whiny guy who was so traumatized to grew a pair and shut the hell up.

You can't dump them out of the airplane. I'm not sure what the outside temp is at 30,000 feet, but can you imagine the body flash-freezing and hitting the ground as a fresh-frozen corpsicle?
(Lord, I'm sorry, truly I am.)

Take the ground temp and subtract about 2 degrees (f) for every 1,000 of altitude.

"Take the ground temp and subtract about 2 degrees (f) for every 1,000 of altitude."
That will get you close to the outside air temp...example: 60 degrees (f) on the ground, at 30,000 feet it would be about zero.

It's 31 outside right now on my porch, so I'm guessing 30 below...

What's in this in flight meal anyways? It's tasty but I can't quite make out what it is.
It's an in flight special sir. Only serve it up about ten times a year.

That's the best idea. Put the corpse of the dear departed one in a first class head and let the firsty elites use the coach heads.

"...dumping..."?
There was no "dumping". They did the best they could, deal with it! If you are uncomfortable, don't fly.

they couldn't store this poor dead woman in the hold or something til they arrived at their destination?
Not once they are airborne, they were only following well substantiated procedures.

I was on a Singapore Airlines flight to San Francisco 10 years ago. A Guy died in first Class two rows behind me. They left him in his seat for a few hours until rigor Mortis set in and his wife conceded to put him in a Body bag they let sit in the Food galley.
a Coroner along with Police came on Board when we landed where they did a Mini Autopsy to determine Death.A Heart attack they were travelling with 4 couples. They released us one and half Hours later. finally convinced we didn't murder him....

Seems like a reasonable way of handling a body.
BA really should try to adopt a similar policy.
