Well, there are different procedures for each airline. So far I realized most airlines (or at least the ones I worked for) require cabin crew to carry on CPR until paramedics take over (no matter how long we have to do it for. Most of the times we are enough crew on board to help each others and to take over). Unless we r flying over the middle of the ocean, diversion it's always a first choice.
What to do if you find a death body on board?
Well, I believe I have never come across such a thing in no manuals at all, but a bit of "common sense" is helpful. Maybe in respect of the person (and probably family/friends travelling with him/her)we could see a sensible option. I agree with covering the body with blankets, close eyes, maybe if we have the space we could also move other pax away from the "scene".
Defenetly a "NOT" the use of toillet or trolley storages!!!!
Flaps, tell us more about that bag...never heard of it before!!!
