Well, yes - is this an argument against dying in general? Fully agreed - it sucks!
> someone had to remove it
Yes, that's what people do with dead bodies!
> someone had to clean the public shelter he died in
The abandoned bus? Well no one had to clean it, but I suppose someone cleaned it? Yes, cleaning up after dead people is a nuisance.
So preferably he shouldn't have died, ever? To spare the people finding his body, removing it, and cleaning up?

The abandoned bus that had been converted into _shelter_ for other back-country users. Shelter is vital, so not sure why you're minimising it.

Entire point is, his death was easily avoidable. He chose not to avoid it, thus impacting other people needlessly.
His chosen risks inflicted downsides on others.
