dead actors, containers or actors?

[bobbyskel78]

i was curious whether a dead actor (creature/npc) is considered a container or an actor within script.

for example:

looking for dead actors ...

GetFirstRef 69 2

or

GetFirstRef 23 2

if it is considered a actor, would:

deadActorRef.Activate
deadActorRef.removeallitems container

work?
