corpse's
Belonging to deceased
Corpse's is the possessive form of corpse, a dead body.
The possessive attributes something to the deceased: the corpse's position suggested foul play, rigor mortis had stiffened the corpse's limbs.
In figurative use, it can describe something lifeless or failed: the corpse's last twitch before the project was officially killed.
