Best Answer

The victim's bodies were burned, killing the plague infection in that body.

Most victim's bodies were thrown out into the street where they were gathered up at night by rural people who desperately needed the money they were paid for this work. The piles of dead were then carted just outside the city walls and dumped into shallow pits, sometimes covered with a layer of quicklime, and left there until the pits were full of bodies. Then dirt was shoveled over them, and a new pit was dug to put more dead into. After a while, priests stopped coming to bless the dead as they were buried and there were no more living friends and family members to care what happened to the dead.

Usually it rots, unless embalmed in which case it does not rot.
