Gentlemen, please! I am trying to eat here. 
What I take away from this is that it is possible (don’t bore me with probabilities) that at some point, a dead, mummified, frozen body could drift past a spaceship window (porthole?).
I am now officially squicked out–but also am pondering writing about space zombies of some sort. I had forgotten about the anaerobic bacteria. Could a virus or a prion live in space on a dead body?
See how ST can be educational? 
“He’s dead, Jim!” Arthur C. Clarke, that is. No longer aging.
OP didn’t specify 93 million miles. For all we know the spaceship was orbiting the Earth when it jettisoned the body, so it’s going to have to deal with ~1370W/m^2 of solar heating on one side of the corpse.
Aren’t you a nurse? I would think you would be asking for pictures.
Okay, this brings up another issue. Say you’re on a starship, enjoying your lunch, when you look out the porthole, and see a dead mummified corpsesicle floating past. When you puke, does the vomit coalesce into a sphere of puke, or does it just hang there in a horizontal column?
Or say you’re having lunch and I float past and bring up this question. How long does it take for you to decide to throw me out the airlock?
For the first question, I would think it comes out horizontal column-ish, but eventually coalesces into an orb-o-puke. The real question is what happens to the solid bits? Do they stay evenly mixed in or do they sink/rise to the center/surface?
To answer the second question, I keep you around because I have the mentality of a ten-year-old boy. 
Things only sink or rise in a fluid due to the action of some sort of accelerating force, either gravity or something else like rotation or propulsion. In the absence of anything like that, things tend to stay put.
On MY starship, there is always gravity, so the puke just spews where puke usually does–all over my shoes. As for putting you in the airlock, you’d have to escape the Brig, first!
Nurse or no, putrefication is no topic for meal. Arteries hemorrhaging, wounds dehiscing, all those are fine. But I draw the line at dead oozy stuff.
Which (with all this loose puke) brings me to another question: did the Enterprise use human cleaning services or did it use robots? Who keeps those hallways so immaculate?
RUN!! It’s the Return Of The COOLER OF DEATH!!!
I don’t think that whoosh is aging, either.
Would California ask for forensic tests-if it flew over Cali? Why can’t we all just get along?
reminds me of the old joke…
A specimen
I can’t help but think that like the sailing ships of old*, dead crew members would be jettisoned out from spaceships, leading to any number of dead, dessicated, frozen bodies floating around. And what about at space stations? Would they really use fuel and energy to cremate or bury a body? What would they do–stack them like cordwood somewhere?
I wish ST had addressed these troublesome questions…
*whereupon said dead crew were food for the fish. Circle of life and all that.
The problem with dead bodies being tossed out the airlock is that your descendants, hundreds of years from now, might accidentally unleashed the Sealed Evil In a Can that you shot into outer space in hopes that no idiot would unleash a pain elemental into the universe (it hurts).
That also makes me wonder if, in the future, blue ice will become a problem for space travelers as well. (That would suck hard for whoever’s writing the claim for the insurance company! “Cause of accident: struck by high-velocity crapsicle.” :eek:)
