Not the most astute answer, I know, but according to this, it would be ある:
But I’d wait for someone more knowledgeable to confirm 
死体 would use ある。
Also, just to double-down on my first comment, because, why not? Doing a Google search in Japanese, it looks like they all use ある:
Read this page. But a very short summary: Talking about corpses you’d use ある but talking more about dead people, you’d use いる
ピーナッツアレルギーで死んだ人がいました is the more preferred way to say this.
