According to Wikipedia, he didn't remove that much:

> Delsalle used a virtually standard version of the Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel B3, only removing unnecessary elements, such as passenger seats, to reduce the standard weight by 120 kg (265 lb) and thus extend the 1-hour fuel range.

And in any case, I believe the user you responded to was talking about rescues, not removing corpses.
