Yes, but only as long as the bacteria which spread it survived. The bodies of people who had died of the plague were used in biowarfare during the middle ages. Besieging armies would throw bodies of plague victims over the walls of a city and wait for the plague to soften up their enemy before attacking. Since Yersinia Pestis survives best in the bodies of fleas and flea-infested rats, the main risk during an outbreak is not from dead bodies, but from the original reservoir of infected fleas which may bite other nearby people and animals. Good pest control is critical to preventing and limiting plague outbreaks.
