"How would you feel if someone ate your body?"
Would I be dead? I wouldn't care then, how could I? Go ahead, make more use of the body.
Dead bodies make for poor meat the longer it rests. Which is why people don't really eat roadkill. Unless they are looking for brain worms like RFK.
I know several people who will take roadkill if they can confirm the freshness by either witnessing the accident or knowing that the kill recently appeared. I myself almost took a deer once. It was a cold night and the deer wasn't on the corner at midnight. But it was there at 6am while still cold outside. If I had the time and space id have likely brought it home to at least assess the meat.
