Knowing how NASA operates, it's very likely they have a detailed document outlining procedures.

I remember reading the Space Shuttle specification and there were contingencies for abort at various stages and if an incident happened what to do about it.

Contingencies for abort at various stages isn't all that unusual or interesting. Heck, I do that before I go fly my 600lb glider.

I don't doubt that they have contingencies for deaths on board, though. I'm sure everything has a plan. Sort of the space equivalent of the US military having plans to invade Canada and Mexico, except more likely to be needed.
