Corpses Stay w/ Respawn

[bertram 11]

The spectator script that I use in my group's missions is a port of the Arma 2 GDT spectator script, which if you're not familiar, respawns players into a spectator pen when they die and activates the spec script. I have the script working in Arma 3 but corpses disappear when a player spawns into the spectator script. I'm not proficient enough in script editing to dissect the Arma 2 version which I believe separates the player from their old body upon death, but I'm not completely sure.
