Yeah, heat will kill all germs and break down most toxins given off by bacteria so if food isn't plentiful it would be hard to turn down a day or two old carcass just lying around. However I don't think eating half rotten RAW meat is a good idea at all. humans simple don't have the capability for that like wolves and to a much greater extend buzzards/vultures and would quite likely die from toxins given off by the bacteria.
