Your characteror your last group, for GMs, finds the corpse of a half-orc on the road.
What does he/she do?
Search for context clues. Loot. If there were signs of a great battle, or even a valiant fight, dispense with looting and bury or burn him/her.

Look around. Search for clues who killed them, look out for ambush, examine corpse. Make a funeral pyre if we aren't in hurry.

Party freaks the fuck out, debates whether to bury, burn, or donate to science for a sweet reward.

Check for threats, try to get an idea of the cause of death, and bury them after that's done.

the corpse of a half-orc awkwardly tumbles in great emptiness, inertia carrying it through featureless dark space.

Approaches cautiously. Seeing as how it might be a trap since just two sessions ago I was waylaid at a small bridge over a stream by bandits who wanted my money.
Then, after confirming it's not just some ploy to draw me in. Check on whether or not the orc is dead,. If dead , lay him to rest in a shallow grave by the side of the road along with as much reverence as I can given the circumstances.
Then, depending on what I can figure out from clues around the road. either continue on my way. Or, attempt to figure out whow and why he was killed. If it turns out it was bandits/mugging/criminals. Hunt then all down and kill them lashing their corpses to trees along side the road. With signs reading. "Bandit" or "The true reward for lawlessness" or "Murderer"
OP Here: I'm pleased to see that most people of /tg/ wouldn't just loot the corpse (or attempt to) and then leave just like that.
Approach the body, try to understand the cause of death. Loot the body and leave.

Check to see if he's really dead.
Check to see if he has anything to identify him, if he died of disease, exposure/hunger/etc, or if he was killed violently.
Collect any clues to his identity we can find and perhaps track where he came from.
Bury the body and leave a marker we'll remember in case we need to dig it up later or show his family where he's buried.
