Deceased Passenger

Over the years I've had a few medical emergencies in my sector where the passenger in trouble has sadly passed away despite the best efforts of crew/doctors/nurses on board. In these cases the aircraft have decided to no longer divert and continue on to destination.

I assume you would need a doctor on board to declare the passenger legally dead in order to continue to dest. My question is what do you do with the passenger after giving up CPR etc? Do the CC drag the body through the cabin and possibly unsettle other pax to lay them out in the galley? Do they just throw a blanket over the pax in their seat despite traumatised family probably being present?

An incredibly morbid question to ask I know, but my curiosity has the better of me here.
