Why are there fresh human corpses everywhere half a year into the apocalypse?

I don’t even play Cannibal, and now I’m wincing at the idea that the corpse drop rate is going to be reduced or nerfed in some way.
But, as a more serious answer…you ever wonder what happened to the people who survived the initial Cataclysm but didn’t get somewhere safe? There they are. They were moving from shelter to shelter, scrounging for food or supplies, or simply taking a walk when they got killed by someone or something. The college kids are equipped for camping, and I’d imagine that a lot of New Englanders go out to the woods - it suddenly seems like a good idea when zombies are hunting for you, but they also lack a ton of food and water. Again, probably died recently while scrounging. . Military and scientists are either hold-outs or arrivals from groups like the Old Guard who just got unlucky.
The drug dealers are the only ones that don’t make a lot of sense, and out of the dead body spawns are the ones that shouldn’t spawn as fresh, but I’m sure there’s a rationale behind that too.
