Realistically, I cannot see this being a full size adult coffin if there were 2 POB. My question would be was it netted down or strapped, and as they were going to YELD they would have been carrying the detached seats plus gear for the YELD base (because you always have some stuff to take out to YELD) and all that should have been tied/netted as well.
..Waiting for the ATSB report.
