Hauling a heavy dead body down the mountain is a lot tougher and more dangerous than carrying some extra oxygen bottles and food. In the death zone the porters are already working at the outer limit of human performance.

This. Never actually been in the death zone - my highest has been just under 7km, but it was hard enough carrying my own stuff up and down.
